很少有研究考察在没有治疗的情况下从阿片类药物和可卡因依赖中恢复，称为“自然恢复”、“自发恢复”和“自发缓解”。本研究以马里兰州的巴尔的摩市贫民区注射吸毒者为样本，研究了网络特征与海洛因、可卡因和快克使用停止之间的关系。参与者参加了一项实验性人类免疫缺陷病毒（HN）预防干预。在基线和平均5.2个月的随访之间，335名参与者中有24名（7%）报告停止使用海洛因，可卡因和快克。在随访时报告停止使用药物的个人在基线时报告与他们一起使用药物的网络成员的比例较小（p
Few studies have examined recovery from opiate and cocaine dependence without treatment, referred to as "natural recovery,' "spontaneous recovery," and "spontaneous remission." The present study examined the relationship between network characteristics and cessation of heroin, cocaine, and crack use in a sample of underclass inner-city injection drug users in Baltimore, Maryland. Participants were enrolled in an experimental human immunodeficiency virus (HN) preventive intervention. Between the baseline and follow-up interviews, which averaged 5.2 months, 24 (7%) of 335 participants reported ceasing to use heroin, cocaine, and crack. Individuals who had reported cessation of drug use at follow-up had reported at baseline a smaller proportion of their network members with whom they used drugs (p
