L’objectif
Looked at characteristics of deceased drug users in treatment and not in treatment
Constatations/points à retenir
Two-thirds of decedents were not in treatment at time of death. Drug users not in treatment died more often from somatic causes compared to those in treatment. Decedents had equal amounts of non-prescribed psychotropic medication in the blood, but non-prescribed methadone was more common among those in treatment at the time of death.
