Abstract
Sociodemographic, toxicologic, and psychopathologic characteristics of 22 buprenorphine addicts and 45 heroin addicts admitted for inpatient detoxification were compared. Although the buprenorphine addicts were older, clinically significant differences were not apparent. The availability of buprenorphine may be the main reason for its abuse.
