Pharmacotherapy for amphetamine dependence: A systematic review

Internationally, recent increases in the proportion of people using amphetamines in the community are reported for a number of regions. Though global trends indicate no overall growth (Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2015; United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2016) a rise in use is evident in East and South East Asia (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2016) and in Europe, where Finland and the Czech Republic showed increased use, although decreased prevalence was reported for Spain and the United Kingdom (European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, 2017).
