The effect of increased cocaine use on drug treatment.
Trends in primary illicit drug use were monitored in an inpatient drug treatment program over a 10-year period, along with illicit drug used in a methadone maintenance program over a six-year period. The percentage of cocaine users admitted for inpatient treatment showed an increase for each six-month interval over the past three-year period. Cocaine was found to be the most frequently used illicit drug by methadone maintenance clients, and its continued use disrupted both inpatient and outpatient treatment. Implications for treatment are discussed.
