Results: All the complaints of pain and other withdrawal signs and symptoms decreased dramatically within the first four days of Treatment. At one-month follow-up, all study participants were still in the foster care and the urine tests for morphine and methamphetaminewerenegative. At the three-month follow-up, the older sister of the onlyone15-year-old Adolescent took the responsibility of his guardianship. The urine tests of all study participants were negative in month 3.
