Abstract

Background: Drug dependency is one of the most important issues in any society and it is among the most widespread health risk factors. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine Quality of Life in Drug-Dependent individuals, who were under Methadone treatment, and non-drug dependent persons in Shahroud (northeast of Iran). Methods: In this comparative study, 266 drug dependent participants and 541 non-drug dependent participants were studied in 2014. The Persian version of SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using chi square test, t test, and ANOVA. Results: The majority of the participants (77. 1%) in both groups were male. The mean age of Drug-Dependent participants was 37. 6 10. 7, the mean duration of drug dependency was 12. 0 9. 3 years, and the mean duration of treatment in Methadone maintenance treatment centers (MMT) was 24. 6 22. 6 months. No significant difference (P > 0. 05) was observed between the 2 groups in any aspects of Quality of Life other than the vitality (P = 0. 001). Conclusions: In this study, Quality of Life scores were not significantly different between drug dependent and non-dependent participants. It seems that treatment with the use of Methadone and buprenorphine can play a good role in improving Quality of Life of addicts.
