Abstract
Treatment centres should highlight the link between heavy drinking, frequent injection and risky injecting practices. The link between rehabilitation attendance and frequent injection may suggest IDUs with more severe use patterns are more likely to attend rehabilitation. Rehabilitation centres and needle exchanges should provide testing and education for HCV. Education alone may not be sufficient to initiate change since knowledge did not predict lower risk.
