Title

TREATMENT OUTCOME PREDICTORS IN FLEXIBLE DOSE-DURATION METHADONE DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM (BRIEF REPORT)

Pages

  599-601

Abstract

 Methadone DETOXIFICATION is among the widely used treatment programs for opioid dependence. The aims of this study were to identify which patient baseline factors and treatment regimen features are predictors of the TREATMENT OUTCOME in an outpatient flexible dose-duration METHADONE DETOXIFICATION program. We studied 126 opioid dependents in a naturalistic nonexperimental clinical setting. The patients were assessed for baseline demographic characteristics, and drug abuse characteristics. Treatment regimen features were recorded during the program. Successful treatment completion was defined as the last daily dose of METHADONE being less than 15 mg, negative urine analysis in the last two weeks of treatment, and based on the final clinician-client’s decision.Out of 126 patients, 60 patients completed DETOXIFICATION successfully. Younger age, longer duration of the opioid abuse, and higher subjective opiate intoxication severity before treatment entry were all significantly associated with negative TREATMENT OUTCOME. Among treatment regimen features, higher maximum METHADONE dose had a marginally significant independent effect on treatment failure. Patients with maximum METHADONE dose of more than 75 mg per day had around ten times worse success rate when compared to those who received lesser doses.The study findings could be used to predict TREATMENT OUTCOME and prognosis in a more individualized and patient-tailored approach in the real clinical setting. Guideline development for treatment selection and outcome monitoring in addiction medicine based on similar studies could enhance TREATMENT OUTCOME in clinical services.
