Abstract

Drug addiction problems in the world in general and in Vietnam in particular are happening more and more complicated. The addictive substances used also change constantly and focus on ATS type. This is a challenge because the intervention of Methadone is not effective with ATS patients. Currently, some studies have shown that psychosocial interventions have positive effects in supporting ATS users. This article is the result of a study conducted in 3 drug treatment clinics in Hanoi and Hai Phong - Vietnam.
