Abstract:	The opiate dependency is a common phenomenon in the society of our days and in most countries the treatment consists of treatment with methadone. The scientific evidence suggests that the prescription of methadone varies considerably from one country to another and the admission criteria for treatment varies according to the eligibility criteria. The people who misuse drugs have various social backgrounds and some of the social categories appear to be predisposed to it. The most prone are users who present the following characteristics: males, single, live in large cities, young people, and those who are vulnerable: sex workers, children living in the street, and prison inmates. The most used illegal drugs used intravenously are the opioids (fortral, morphine, and heroin), ketamine, cocaine, and met-amphetamines. Recent researches hypothesise that subjects who misuse drugs presented a certain personality which may have placed them in a vulnerable position before they start misusing. They appear to lack the necessary resources to cope with the daily living challenges, do not have stable intimate relationships, have poor social insertion, and have poor academic results, poor school attendance and a history of offending behaviour. These subjects report being depressed and anxious; however, it is difficult to ascertain if this presentation is a risk factor or an effect of the drug misuse.
