Funded Activity Summary

Heroin dependence is a chronic relapsing condition, associated with high levels of psychopathology. On entry to treatment at least one quarter of heroin users meet criteria for Major Depression. The co-occurrence of heroin dependence and depression is associated with a range of harms and has been linked to poorer treatment outcomes. Despite this, practical and effective treatment options are scarce. The proposed international collaboration will contribute significantly to understanding of the treatment of this comorbidity.
