“…The methadone and non‐methadone groups were compared at baseline on age, gender, ethnicity, education, marital status, occupation, income, living situation and psychiatric and criminal justice measures. They differed only on living situation such that methadone participants were more likely to be homeless in the past 30 days whereas non‐methadone participants were more likely to have been living in an institution in the past 30 days 16 …”

This study examines smoking behavior in a sample of 231 opioid-dependent clients entering therapeutic community treatment, and investigates the relationship between smoking behavior and drug treatment outcomes. We applied regression analyses for selected Addiction Severity Index composites (alcohol, drug, medical, psychiatric), including factors for smoking (number of cigarettes per day, expired-air carbon monoxide level, nicotine dependence), time (baseline, 6 and 12-month), and smoking-by-time interaction. This study confirmed a high smoking prevalence (95%) among opioid users. Among participants interviewed at all time points (n=206), 13% shifted from smoking to non-smoking status at some time after admission. Participants who reported a greater number of cigarettes were more likely to report higher drug severity at any time point.

[83][84][85] Given the known benefits of opioid agonist treatment, priority should be given to programs and initiatives aimed at strengthening both the opioid agonist and residential treatment systems of care through an integration of evidence-based treatment approaches to opioid use disorder.…”

“…A study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence has reported that methadone patients do as well in rehab as abstinent patients [1]. Residential therapeutic communities have demonstrated effectiveness, yet for the most part they adhere to a drug‐free ideology incompatible with the use of methadone.…”
