Executive Summary |
|
|
The Research Outcome Study n Ireland evaluating drug treatment effectiveness (ROSIE) is the first national, prospective, longitudinal, multi-site drug treatment outcome study in the country. The National Advisory Committee on Drugs (NACD) commissioned this study in 2002 as required by the National Drug Strategy Action 99. The aim of the Study is to recruit and follow opiates users entering treatment over a period of time documenting the changes observed. The contract was awarded to Dr Catherine Comiskey and NUI Maynooth in 2002. The Study recruited 404 opiate users entering treatment. This is the second paper in the ROSIE Findings series and it provides a snapshot of the outcomes for people in the detoxification modality one year after treatment intake. |
