The study continues exploration of the conditional nature of the process of maturing out of narcotics addiction over time. It tests hypotheses about the relationship of selected personal resource/sociodemographic variables (including ethnicity and employability) and preaddiction sociopathy characteristics to maturing out. Hypotheses were tested using log-linear models on data from the California Civil Addict Program. Results suggest that while the process of maturing out over time is not substantially different depending upon level of preaddiction sociopathy or ethnicity, the process may be influenced by levels of other personal resource characteristics.
