Discussionwill be held about the nature, quality and extent of
specific psychopathological symptoms of heroin addicts. Conditions
which are often mistaken for additional psychiatric syndromes, or
independent polyabuse patterns, may be in fact reconsidered as a
corollarium of chronic opiate intoxication, beyond the core
elements of craving and drug-seeking behavior, without the meaning
of a dual diagnosis. Also, certain polyabuse patterns may be seen
as the self-perpetuation of addiction by other opioidergic
substances such as alcohol.
