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).
