search repeatedly, changing the search terms every time, a time-consuming and cumbersome process. Doing that finally turned up a few things that provide some information; well look at them individually
and then draw some conclusions. The Sources Our first source is a study done at a clinic in Chandigath, India; the object was to determine the age at onset of
opioid dependence among men who had come to the clinic for treatment (De et al, 2003). The researchers admit that the sample was small, but still statistically significant (De et
al, 2003). They found that "opioid-dependent subjects" can be classified into two subtypes: early and late onset (De et al, 2003, p. 343). The mean age of those men classified
