In Japan, the target mental disorders of preventive strategies for suicide had been limited to be mood disorder, but recently drug abuse are known to be significant as a cause of suicide because some researches has found the association between substance use disorder and suicidal behavior in Japan. However, the preventive plans for suicide of drug abusers has not been developed yet. In this study we would like to examine the risk factors of suicide ideation in Japanese drug abusers. We analyzed the data of 445 drug addicts from the Nationwide Research of Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Centers by Tokyo DARC and compared many variables including demographic factors, drug use status, family history, psychopathologies, treatment and daily life satisfactions between people with suicide ideations and without ideations. It was found that 182 cases (43.8%) had suicide ideations in a recent month, and that addicts who had suicide ideations had significantly shorter abstinence time, higher prevalence of victimized experiences before 15 years age, and more mental symptoms such as insomnia, depression, and psychotic symptoms, and more tendencies to use prescribed psychotropic drug than those without suicide ideation. These results suggested that to prevent suicide of drug abusers, we should pay attention to family histories, insomnia and abstinence periods, and help them recovery from psychological damages caused by childhood trauma without inappropriate medications.
