ABSTRACT
Much research examining heroin users utilizes treatment samples; non-treatment-seeking heroin users are not well understood. It is unclear whether this group can avoid impaired control or negative sequelae commonly observed in treatment-seeking populations. During 2000 and 2001, we recruited 69 non-treatment-seeking heroin users with no treatment history. Heroin use, management strategies, treatment attitudes, and risk behaviors were assessed; the DSM-IV checklist and severity of dependence scale were completed. Study limitations and implications for heroin use and its treatment are discussed.
