  • Conference paper

  • 214 Accesses

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((YEARBOOK,volume 1999))

Abstract

The social and economical consequences of opiate addiction are a permanently increasing problem within society [1]. To solve drug related problems and to provide effective treatment for these patients represents a considerable challenge. For successful therapy, the physical, as well as the psychological, components of opiate dependancy have to be taken into account [2].
