Evaluating outcome criteria used in methadone maintenance programs
Int J Addict.
1976.
Abstract
This report reviews the results of several large methadone maintenance programs and analyzes the outcome measures used. Criteria measures were often vague and sometimes not defined. Many studies base their findings on unverified patient self-report because costs for more reliable and systematic data collection are prohibitive. Available data does not allow for resolution of the pro- or antimethadone maintenance views for treatment of heroin addiction.
