Literature Review 1) Amiri - A sample of 80 addicts were used in the Abused Drug Assessment Inventory -55% of addiction caused by psychological factors -65% related to fear, anxiety and sorrow 2) Everitt -Drugs are taken voluntarily because of reinforcing effects -Loss of control results in habitual behaviors and eventually become compulsive 3) Hoffmann -Psychological and social factors correlate with drug use -Drugs such as heroine act on susceptible personalities

-More drug users who are not in the program are dying (51. 1%) more than not dying (48. 9%) -More people who are in the program are surviving (50. 6%) more than dying from overdose (49. 4%) -P value >. 05 so the data is not statistically significant

Regression This regression chart shows that the correlation between drug overdose and being in the program is still not significant.

Sustainability Budget My program will not work because there is a deficit of $149, 100.
