Abstract
In 97 heroin addicts in a methadone maintenance treatment program (MMTP) with social services, urine screening for opioid metabolites identified groups with different treatment compliance. The positive correlation between compliance and methadone dosage confirms that MMTPs are effective in rehabilitating patients when 'adequate' dosage, i.e., capable of preventing relapse, is used.
