[Clinical peculiarities of post-withdrawal disorders in heroin abuse and approaches to their treatment].
On the basis of the observation of 62 patients with heroin addiction there was described the post-withdrawal syndrome. It was characterised by a lability of psychopathologic symptomatology and by undulate course (with exacerbation and desactualization of the drive to narcotic). Clinically there were determined 3 types of post-withdrawal syndrome's course. The 1-st type was characterised by irresistible drive to narcotic, followed by psychopathic-like behaviour. For the 2-nd type a prevalence of the depressive symptomatology with different intensity of the disorders of the affect was more typical. The 3-d type was presented by unclear polymorphic manifestations and rather deep disorders of a sleep. It was established that clinical picture of the syndrome was determined mostly by a degree of a pathological drive to heroin. Differentiated approaches to a treatment of different types of post-withdrawal disorders were described. A duration of a syndrome was 3-4 weeks.
