Narco Becomes Drug Research Center in Lexington

The National Institute of Mental Health facility in Lexington shifts from a patient hospital to a research center. Dr. Robert Raser notes changing patterns of addiction from rural older white users to urban minority heroin users and the rise of soft narcotics among college populations. The program blends six months of institutional treatment with a three-year after-care plan, aiming for 300 to 400 patients as the center expands research on drug abuse and prevention.
