Abstract

 Background: Methamphetamine (MA) abuse is a health concern among drug abuse patients in Iran. Objectives: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of MA Dependence among a group of Female methadone users and investigating the current psychological well-being, high risk sexual and criminality behaviors, and the status of receiving MA treatment. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey conducted in Iran. The study was conducted at 5 central Female-only methadone services in Tehran and Karaj, during years 2011 to 2013. A questionnaire was devised to collect baseline data. The general health questionnaire-28 and the Opiate Treatment Index were used to assess psychological well-being, and criminality and high-risk sexual behaviors. Results: Overall, 245 Females were registered at these sites. Of them, 201 Females (82%) were dependent on MA while on treatment. Duration of MADependence was 6 years. However, only 14. 3% of the participants reported lifetimeMAtreatment. Noparticipant was on MA treatment. Participants reported high rates of MA-related depression (76. 4%), anxiety (68. 4%), social dysfunction (41. 2%), and somatic symptoms (38. 2%), respectively. Untreated MA Dependence in methadone treatment was associated with engagement in high-risk sexual behaviors (43. 8%) and criminality (28. 7%). Only 10% of the participants reported receiving a lifetime matrix model. All of them reported that the Matrix model was long and it was not easily available in methadone services. Conclusions: The study showed that the high prevalence for MA Dependence and its adverse health impacts while receiving MA treatment remained the same.
