Abstract Inaugural lecture--Department of Psychology, Rand Afrikaans University, 1975 - The results of follow-up studies would confirm that the relapse rate among rehabilitated drug addicts is significantly high. While the physiological (medical) and psychiatric effects of prolonged drug exposure can be successfully treated in the rehabilitation centre, the addict also brings into the centre a social history i.e. his experiences as an addict in the street before treatment. An important aspect of the addict's social background history concerns his participation in the drug subculture. In the Republic of South Africa the primary drug of abuse is cannabis and this substance figures prominently in the emerging of a subculture which primarily exposes young males under the age of 24 with a pronounced clustering of subjects in the age range 15-18. The drug subculture operates both as a cause addiction and relapse. | ||
