    Area of Science:

    • Psychopharmacology
    • Addiction Studies
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Historically, nonaddictive opiate use patterns have been largely disregarded.
    • Previous research from the 1970s indicated occasional opiate users but did not fully resolve questions of use control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To challenge the prevailing dismissal of nonaddictive opiate use.
    • To present evidence supporting the possibility of controlled opiate use.
    • To differentiate controlled use from compulsive/addictive opiate use.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of findings from research on long-term, moderate opiate users.
    • Contradiction of hypotheses suggesting controlled use is an artifact.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Empirical evidence demonstrates that controlled opiate use is possible.
    • Findings refute theories that controlled use is merely an artifact.
    • A clear distinction is established between controlled and compulsive/addictive opiate use.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonaddictive patterns of opiate use warrant recognition and further investigation.
    • Controlled opiate use is a valid phenomenon distinct from addiction.
    • Implications for future research directions in opiate use are discussed.
