Hallucinogen dependence, sustained partial remission

Definition

After a diagnosis of Hallucinogen dependence, and often following a treatment episode or other intervention (including self-help intervention), there is a significant reduction in hallucinogen consumption for more than 12 months, such that even though intermittent or continuing hallucinogen use has occurred during this period, the definitional requirements for dependence have not been met.

Exclusions

• Episode of harmful use of hallucinogens
• Harmful pattern of use of hallucinogens
