Research on recovery from drug dependence is largely focused on abstinence without consideration of other aspects of mental health. The present study seeks to identify among Canadians with a lifetime history of illicit drug dependence, the prevalence of, and factors associated with (1) remission, (2) absence of psychiatric disorders (APD), and (3) complete mental health (CMH). A sample of 20,305 respondents from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health was selected, including 460 with a history of drug dependence. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were conducted. Among those with a history of drug dependence, 80.6% were in remission. Although 47.9% achieved APD and 37.9% were in CMH, these percentages were significantly lower than those without a history of drug dependence (90.3% and 74.1%, respectively). APD and CMH were more common among older respondents, those with higher levels of social support, and those without a history of depression or anxiety. The present study draws attention to the individuals who may be vulnerable to continued drug dependence, while also illuminating potential modifiable factors to support positive mental health outcomes among those with a history of illicit drug dependence.

从药物依赖中恢复的研究主要集中在禁欲上，而没有考虑心理健康的其他方面。本研究旨在确定终生有非法药物依赖史的加拿大人的患病率和相关因素 (1) 缓解、(2) 没有精神疾病 (APD) 和 (3) 完全心理健康 (CMH) ）。从 2012 年加拿大社区健康调查 - 心理健康中抽取了 20,305 名受访者作为样本，其中 460 名有药物依赖史。进行了卡方检验和逻辑回归分析。在有药物依赖史的患者中，80.6% 处于缓解状态。尽管 47.9% 达到 APD 和 37.9% 处于 CMH，但这些百分比显着低于那些没有药物依赖史的人（分别为 90.3% 和 74.1%）。APD 和 CMH 在年龄较大的受访者、社会支持水平较高的受访者以及没有抑郁或焦虑病史的受访者中更为常见。本研究提请注意可能容易受到持续药物依赖的个体，同时也阐明了潜在的可改变因素，以支持有非法药物依赖史的人的积极心理健康结果。
