Data on secondary drug use are only collected for all treatment clients and not separately for new treatment clients.

Opioids include: heroin, methadone, other opioids; cocaine includes: cocaine CIH, crack cocaine; stimulants include: amphetamines, MDMA and derivates, other stimulants. Cannabis can include herbal cannabis or cannabis resin. For each client up to four secondary drugs can be used: therefore the total number of clients does not correspond to the total number of client by country.

A number of the clients report using the same drug both as primary and secondary drug, particularly for cannabis. Clients may report using different sub-types of the same substance, as defined in the TDI Protocol for the drugs categories.
