The effectiveness of suicide intervention programs has not been assessed with experimental designs.To determine the risk reattempts in patients engaged a secondary prevention program.We included 154 suicidal behavior quasi-experimental study nontreatment concurrent control group. In all, 77 underwent Suicide Behavior Prevention Program (SBPP), which includes specialized early assistance during period 3-6 months. A matched sample (n = 77) was selected without undergoing any specific program....
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has long been used to treat heroin-dependent patients. However, satisfaction with methadone in this patient population is unknown. The aim of cross-sectional case-control study was evaluate patients current substance use disorders (SUDs). Cases included 152 methadone-maintained SUD, requiring inpatient detoxification treatment, and controls 33 sustained full remission for SUD. Satisfaction as a medication heroin addiction measured by using the Scale...
Several risk factors have been related to the onset and maintenance of gambling disorder (GD).
