Wolf, J. (2010). Die stille Sucht? – eine ethische Perspektive zur Sucht im Alter. SuchtMagazin, 36(3; 06/2010), 4–9.
Abstract: Das Thema Sucht und Alter wird oft verkannt. Eine adäquate Versorgung und Prävention hat sich derzeit noch nicht etabliert. Aus ethischer Sicht ergeben sich vor allem Fragen nach der Autonomiefähigkeit und den gerechten Grundbedingungen für Präventions- und Hilfsmassnahmen bei älteren Menschen mit problematischem Substanzkonsum.

Wodak, A. (1993). Taming demons : the reduction of harm resulting from use of illicit drugs. International journal of drug policy, 4(2), 72–77.
Abstract: Restricting availability is the major response to illicit drugs in most Western countries including Australia. Prohibition may reduce harm when the drug in question is in low demand, controls are difficult to subvert, and when similar drugs are less toxic or unavailable. However, the health, social and economic costs of supply reduction are substantial and increasing for both injecting drug users and the general community. Population adjusted mortality of heroin users has doubled in Australia in the last decade. The possible impact of supply reduction policy on the spread of HIV infection among IDUs is an important but largely neglected consideration. The effectiveness of supply restriction policy in decreasing the availability of drugs or in reducing drug-related harm is unlikely to be increased significantly by more vigorous implementation of supply reduction or adoption of new technology. Conversely, on the basis of existing data, greater availability of HIV prevention measures attractive to the target population (including especially drug treatment such as methadone maintenance) is likely to be effective and cost-effective. The costs and benefits of innovative methods of providing currently illicit drugs to those who are determined to use them requires careful evaluation and comparison with existing policies. Policy on illicit drugs in most countries including Australia is still dominated by concern about drug use rather than focused on the need to reduce drug-related problems, which is the agreed aim of national drug policy.

Wittchen, H. - U., Perkonigg, A., & Reed, V. (1996). Comorbidity of mental disorders and substance use disorders. European addiction research, 2(1), 36–47.
Abstract: Recent major epidemiological surveys in general population samples throughout the world have demonstrated that substance use disorders are among the most frequent forms of mental disorders in the community, and are also frequently associated with other forms of mental disorders. This paper briefly reviews the concept of comorbidity and summarizes more recent data concerning the frequency of comorbidity of substance use disorders. The review is limited to studies in the general population using standardized diagnostic interviews. Specific emphasis is laid upon the most recent data from the National Comorbidity Survey, that specifically addressed comorbidity issues in detail. The clear majority of subjects with a definite substance use disorder according to the strict DSM-III-R definition has or has had at least one other comorbid mental disorder. Comorbidity rates between specific substance use disorders and other mental disorders will be compared and discussed in light of several other international epidemiological studies. Furthermore time sequences of substance use disorders and comorbid disorders are presented. Potential pathogenetic and clinical implications are addressed.
