Abstract
By measurement of the habituation to the skin conductance response (SCR) no reduction of activation could be observed between stable patients in methadone maintenance therapy and healthy normal subjects, but significant differences were obtained between the well-performing group and poly-drug users treated with methadone. The findings are discussed within the context of previous research on outcome of methadone maintenance. Measurement of habituation to SCR is a useful instrument for detecting polydrug addicts in methadone maintenance programmes.
