title: Anxiety and anger among abusers of different substances.
abstract: The levels of trait anxiety and trait anger were compared for adult clients in residential treatment with primary diagnoses of alcoholism, cannabis dependence, cocaine abuse and opioid dependence. With a sample of 809 clients results suggested each of these groups to have significantly elevated anxiety and anger scores, compared to non-client samples. However, there were no significant differences on either anxiety or anger scores based on drug of choice.
