  • Abstract
    Illicit drug use is associated with multiple risks of harm to the users, their families, and social network in Iran, the most populous Persian Gulf country (1-3). A paper by Rezaee et al. (4) about newspaper advertisements related to drug treatment services in Iran has been recently published in the Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The paper is important because drug treatment advertisements show the trend of demand for treating illicit drug use in Tehran, the capital city of Iran (4).
