16. Conclusions 1 Stimulants, drug mixtures and opioids are dominating findings among intoxivated in the emergency rooms The number of Methadone intoxications is slowly rising, but not very high at the moment In the old epidemic of Copenhagen, the total number of DRD´s is slowly going down, but at the same time the proportion of methadone poisonings is substantially rising

17. Conclusion 2 We do not really know the optimal trade off point of methadone doses in treatment when comparing retention in treatment to mortality. Is there a kohort effect due to old methadone users?
