Among 25 adults and 25 youths at two Narcotics Treatment halfway houses, adults aged 23 to 54 had a median income of 33 922 with 251 from legitimate sources. youths 15 to 22 had a median 20 292 with 2 082 non-criminal. Researchers Wendell Plair and Lorraine Jackson note income estimates are self reported and may be inflated but argue figures reflect high usage cases and do not represent the broader addict population.
