Beardslee et al [43] studied 81 families, randomly selected at an urban
centre of a health maintenance organization, with 153 children between the ages of six and 19 years.
People with chronic opioid use disorders are more likely to relapse and do so sooner if they are treated in a compulsory drug detention
centre rather than a voluntary drug treatment
centre using methadone
maintenance therapy, according to the first study comparing the outcome
of both approaches published in The Lancet Global
Health.
