Notes:

 (1) Heroin includes all opioids. 

 (2) Data refer to all treatments. Data on new treatments were not reported as figures were too small. 

 (3) Data refer to all treatments. For 2004 data refer to first treatments.  

 (4) For 2005 data, refer to nine treatment centres: three outpatient centres, three inpatient centres and three treatment units in prison. For previous years, data refer to only one outpatient centre for which data were available for that time period. 

 (5) In the case of Austria, up to 2005 data only refer to clients in substitution treatment, using opioids as primary drug. Since 2006,a new data collection has been conducted. 

 (6) Data refer to all treatments up to 2002. For 2003 data, refer to first treatments. Heroin includes all opiates. For 2004–06 data were not available and therefore not included in the analysis. 

 (7) Data for 2003 include 24.4 % of main drug (heroin + cocaine). In former years, this situation was coded as ‘cocaine’ in Table 4. 

 (8) Data for 2004 includes data for outpatient clients and clients treated in prison. Data for outpatient clients was validated, however data collection for prison clients was still in the process of development, thus figures are underestimated.With effect from next year the process of data validation for prison clients will be implemented.   

 (9) Data refer to all treatments up to 2002 and to new treatments from 2003.
