This paper reviews the literature in an area which has received little attention of drug researchers — spontaneous remission. The paper reviews all the research studies that have looked at the phenomena of the “natural” recovery from heroin addiction — natural in the sense that some addicts manage to stop using heroin and not become re-addicted without the help of treatment intervention. Some areas for future research are also suggested.
