How effective is heroin addiction treatment?
Heroin addiction treatment is very, very effective if you ask people who work in the treatment of addictions. They usually will be looking at the people who stay in treatment and not the dropouts. They sort of collect stories about how people were cured. That’s a good thing and a nice thing.But in general, one could say that we don’t have that much of a cure if you really do surveys and evaluations. It shows that the effects are rather minor over a short term, that is. In general, one could also say that a population of addicts will get out of it in quite a large proportion over a large span of years.
