Conclusions TRI science addiction Data presented just for discussion - No conclusions please! Data were collected from too many different locations (prisons, HIV clinics, in patient, outpatient treatment programs) and from too many different samples (opiate only users, primary alcohol users, an all inpatient sample, an outpatient only sample, etc.) for valid comparisons to be made.
