Buprenorphine versus heroin dependence: comparison of toxicologic and psychopathologic characteristics
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|May 1, 1993
Abstract:
Sociodemographic, toxicologic, and psychopathologic characteristics of 22 buprenorphine addicts and 45 heroin addicts admitted for inpatient detoxification were compared. Although the buprenorphine addicts were older, clinically significant differences were not apparent. The availability of buprenorphine may be the main reason for its abuse.
