One of the groups of ex-addicts on heroine who risk relapsing in drug consuming is that of convicts who are about to be released.
For the moment, preventing the relapse in this group it is not included as a possibility of intervention in the addiction services cases in Romania.
The conclusion we reached is that no matter how low it may appear this risk, first of all, this type of service for this category of population should be taken into consideration. And it has to be created the possibility of initiating this kind of services in the communities where it might appear persons who have been released from prison and were heroine addicts.
