ABSTRACT

One hundred consecutive admissions for heroin addiction to Government Mental Hospital Peshawar, between June 1989 and December 1989, were studied. Patients were offered a ten day detoxification period. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews. All patients were male, from lower social class, who inhaled the drug. The majority [72%] were unemployed and perceived their families as supportive [62%]. Most patients [7.4%] had previously abused cannabis and had been involved in drug related offences [60%]. The average length of stay in Hospital was 7.7 days
