What historical DSM version defined early remission based on criteria meeting for 1 month?

The definition of early remission as requiring the absence of criteria symptoms for one month was established in the DSM-IV-TR, which is a text revision of the DSM-IV. This version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders refined and clarified many diagnostic criteria, including those related to substance use disorders and remission. The term "early remission" specifically indicates a time frame during which an individual has not met the full criteria for substance dependence or abuse for at least one month but still experiences some symptoms associated with their previous disorder.

The DSM-III and DSM-2 did not have established criteria for early remission, as concepts around remission were less developed at those times. The DSM-5 changed the remission criteria further, which established different terms and durations for early and sustained remission, hence making the DSM-IV-TR the correct choice for the specified question about early remission criteria lasting one month.
