A new psychological test can predict whether a cocaine addict is more likely to kick the habit during rehab, researchers have said.
A questionnaire has been devised to identify which users will turn up for treatment and whether their system would be free of the drug.
The test, drawn up by NUI Maynooth Professor of Psychology Dermot Barnes-Holmes, was used successfully in rehab trials in New York on 25 men and three women who had been using cocaine for about 15 years.
"Our system has far-reaching implications for the treatment of drug addiction," he said.
