“…However, this research did not evaluate people with OUD who were not receiving treatment, comparing only subjects who had been participating in MMT for <1 year with those involved for 1 to 2 years, or those involved for > 2 years in this program, demonstrating no significant differences between all 3 groups participating in MMT. 17 In contrast, our study indicates that people with OUD participating in MMT in comparison with those not receiving treatment have less illegal substance use (specifically heroin and basuco), less HIV risk behaviors, better social functioning, less criminal activity, and less physical and mental health problems. These results are in line with the international evidence supporting the positive impact of the MMT.…”

“…6,8,14,[19][20][21][22] To date, only one study has intended to evaluate the effectiveness of MMT in Colombia and Latin America. 17 It is a descriptive study evaluating 50 subjects participating in an MMT program located in the city of Medellín, using the OTI. However, this research did not evaluate people with OUD who were not receiving treatment, comparing only subjects who had been participating in MMT for <1 year with those involved for 1 to 2 years, or those involved for > 2 years in this program, demonstrating no significant differences between all 3 groups participating in MMT.…”

“…Lo que ha permitido reconocer integralmente no solo como se desarrolla la adicción a nivel neuronal sino, además de las implicaciones y repercusiones que esta sostiene en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de la enfermedad.Visibilizando significativamente el manejo clínico de esta problemática, tomando en cuenta los diversos elementos a implicar en el proceso, partiendo de aspectos como la infraestructura, continuando con el desarrollo de baterías e instrumentos de evaluación, pasando al abordaje farmacológico, terapéutico y acompañamiento familiar, hasta la formulación y ejecución de proyectos de investigación que desestimen o corroboren el trabajo desarrollado (Kessler et al, 2012;Levin, 2011;Martínez, 2020;Zapata y Giraldo, 2012).…”
