Abstract

Objective:To research associated factors that influence the compliance to methadone maintenance treatment. Methods:Subjects of 100 heroin dependant patients treated in our methadone maintenance treatment clinic were divided into two groups:one group consisted of those who stopped methadone treatment within three months,and group two were those who maintained treatment for more than six months. Factors such as social demographic characteristics,drug dependence,methadone dose and time of treatment etc. were collected and analyzed. Results:Single, young, male,unemployment,low educational level,no family support and polydrug use were dangerous factors that influenced the compliance to methadone maintenance treatment. Conclusion: Discriminating dangerous associated factors for compliance to maintenance treatment in clinic and then taking appropriate interventions can effectively improve the effect of methadone maintenance treatment.
