Medical prescription of heroin to treatment resistant heroin addicts: two randomised controlled trials
Wim van den Brink,Vincent M. Hendriks,Peter Blanken,Maarten W. J. Koeter,Barbara J van Zwieten,Jan M. van Ree +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted two open label randomised controlled trials to determine whether supervised medical prescription of heroin can successfully treat addicts who do not sufficiently benefit from methadone maintenance treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attentional bias predicts heroin relapse following treatment.
Marlies A.E. Marissen,Ingmar H.A. Franken,Andrew J. Waters,Peter Blanken,Wim van den Brink,Vincent M. Hendriks +5 more
TL;DR: Pre-treatment attentional bias predicted relapse at 3-month follow-up, even when controlling for self-reported cravings at the test session, and CET does not specifically reduce attentional biases after therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marcel G. W. Dijkgraaf,Bart P. van der Zanden,Corianne A. J. M. de Borgie,Peter Blanken,Jan M. van Ree,Wim van den Brink +5 more

Benedikt Fischer,Eugenia Oviedo-Joekes,Eugenia Oviedo-Joekes,Peter Blanken,Christian Haasen,Juergen Rehm,Juergen Rehm,Martin T. Schechter,John Strang,Wim van den Brink +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that there is a mounting onus on the realm of politics to translate the—largely positive— data from completed HAT science into corresponding policy and programming in order to expand effective treatment options for the high-risk population of illicit opioid users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cue exposure therapy for the treatment of opiate addiction: results of a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Marlies A.E. Marissen,Ingmar H.A. Franken,Peter Blanken,Wim van den Brink,Vincent M. Hendriks +4 more
TL;DR: This is the first randomized controlled trial showing that CET, compared to a non-specific psychotherapy, might increase dropout and relapse rates among abstinent heroin-dependent clients in a drug-free setting.
