Résumé : | This study follows up earlier research on occasional and controlled patterns of heroin use in order to examine how - if at all - this groups use of the drug changed over an extended period of time. The previous study (Occasional and controlled heroin use: not a problem?) revealed that some people felt able to regulate and manage their use of heroin so that it caused them few problems - a finding that is starkly at odds with media portrayal of, political debate about and public understanding of heroin users. This study aimed to re-interview up to 51 heroin users originally questioned during 2004 and 2005, to establish the stability of controlled and nondependent patterns of use reported during the initial study and thus eliminate the possibility that these merely reflected transient or temporary changes in heroin use. The findings will be of interest to both a policy and practice audience, offering a better understanding of the nature of dependence, and identifying tactics to help dependent heroin users gain greater control over their drug use and ultimately abstain.
