Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude statistique sur les résultats d'une désintoxication par maintenance à la méthadone sur des patients ayant rechuté au moins 6 fois. Les résultats sont jugés positifs.
ENGLISH :
This study represents the first controlled trial of methadone maintenance and 45-day methadone detoxification in Thailand. We randomly assigned 240 male heroin addicts with at least six prior detoxification treatment episodes to 45-day detoxification or to methadone maintenance treatment conditions. We found that methadone maintenance clients were more likely to complete 45 days of treatment, were less likely to have used heroin during treatment, and were less likely to have used heroin on the 45th day of treatment. These findings are consistent with the results of other studies in the United States and we conclude that methadone maintenance could be a significant adjunct to Aids prevention efforts for intravenous drug users in Thailand.
