Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Aims: To evaluate the outcome at 24 weeks following a community-based treatment programme using buprenorphine maintenance among male opiate users in Dimapur, Nagaland (India). Design: Quasi-experimental prospective follow-up study. Participants: Fifty-four male current opiate users were recruited following fulfilment of inclusion criteria from a community. All users seeking treatment met the DSM III-R criteria for opioid dependence. Methods: All subjects received buprenorphine (1.21.8 mg sublingually per day) from a community clinic and attended psychosocial sessions. Measurements included an assessment of demographic and clinical variables, Addiction Severity Index (ASI), retention in treatment, drug use at baseline and follow-up at 24 weeks. Findings: The mean age of sample was 26.3+4.1 years, with a mean duration of opioid use of 4.0+3.8 years. The retention rate was 81.5% at 24 weeks. Scores on the Addiction Severity Index decreased and injecting use reduced. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: Buprenorphine was found to be effective with greater retention rates and less opioid use. Results support the theory that community-based setting to provide maintenance treatment with very low staff investment from a community clinic can be initiated and replicated safely and effectively in India. However, future work on evaluation of higher doses is recommended. (Author' s abstract) |
