“…The development of more effective pharmacotherapy interventions for withdrawal might serve to both increase optimism among staff about, and attract dependent users into, withdrawal treatment. At the present time, there are no pharmacotherapeutic agents approved for the withdrawal treatment of methamphetamine [18].…”

“…Consistent with previous findings [43] , opioid abuse is a risk factor for nonfatal overdose. Amphetamine withdrawal, including decreased energy, sleepiness, increased appetite, dysphoria, agitation, unpleasant dreams and drug craving, has been reported to be less unpleasant than heroin withdrawal, and specific pharmacological agents for amphetamine withdrawal are lacking [44] . This may explain why fewer amphetamine users have undergone in-patient detoxification.…”

Background/Aims: Characteristics of primary amphetamine, heroin and cocaine users were compared in a criminal justice population. Methods: 7,085 clients with suspected or reported substance use were studied using the Addiction Severity Index. Variables separating amphetamine, heroin and cocaine users were analyzed in stepwise logistic regression. Results: There were considerably more primary amphetamine users (n = 1,396) than heroin (n = 392) and cocaine (n = 119) users. Amphetamine users were older, a more rural population, and less likely to be non-Nordic immigrants. Compared with heroin, amphetamine use was associated with older age, Nordic origin, nonurban residence, memory/concentration problems, parental alcohol problems, and less history of other opioid use, overdose and detoxification. Compared with cocaine, amphetamine use was associated with older age, Nordic origin, nonurban residence, injecting, tobacco and institution treatment. Overlap of drug use between groups was relatively uncommon. Conclusion: This pattern of amphetamine use, common among Swedish criminals, has relatively distinct boundaries from heroin and cocaine use, commonly involves injecting, and differs from other countries. Psychiatric problems and alcohol heredity were common, and evidence-based treatment for amphetamine users is needed. The connection between amphetamine use and criminal behavior is insufficiently understood and should be further addressed.

The effect of perceived satisfaction from social support was through the mediation variable hope. As it has widely been recognized that community-based support is vital for issues of quality of life, strategies to improve social support and hope intervention programs are strongly encouraged. The results of the study have implications for providing care, treatment, and psycho-social support to maintain or enhance quality of life of PLWHA.
