Abstrakt		The study aim was to compare clinical and sociodemographic characteristic between heroin addicts at their first treatment for heroin use in the specific outpatient centre for the prevention and treatment of drug addiction (CPTDA) (first treatment - FT) or who repeatedly (repeated treatment - RT) seek help in CPTDA for heroin addiction problems. RSDA, SAT instruments and ICD-10 were used. Forty patients (30 males, 10 females) were included (26 RT and 14 FT). There were significant statistical differences between FT and RT in sex, age at the moment of clinical observation, length of drug dependence (months), previous treatments, clinical phase, nosografy, modality of drug use, assumption of classic hallucinogens and legal problems. FT patients self reported more subjective problems with self aggression, bleeding from nose, crying and employment.
Izvleček		Namen raziskave je bil primerjati klinične in sociodemografske značilnosti med zasvojenimi s heroinom ob njihovi prvi obravnavi zaradi uporabe heroina v specifičnem ambulantnem centru za preprečevanje in zdravljenje zasvojenosti z drogami (CPZZD) (prvič obravnavani - PO) ali tistimi, ki so predhodno (večkratne obravnave - VO) že iskali pomoč v CPZZD zaradi zasvojenosti s heroinom. Uporabljeni so bili instrumenti RSDA, SAT in MKB10. Vključenih je bilo 40 (30 moških, 10 žensk) bolnikov (26 V0 in 14 PO). Statistično značilne razlike med PO in VO so se kazale glede na spol, starost ob kliničnem opazovanju, trajanje odvisnosti (meseci), predhodne obravnave, klinično fazo, nozografijo, način uporabe drog, uporabo klasičnih halucinogenov, težav z zakonom. PO bolniki so navajali več subjektivnih težav z avtoagresivnostjo, krvavenjem iz nosu, jokavostjo, zaposlitvijo.
