Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the psychological characteristics of patients showing different responses to methadone maintenance treatment to assess whether they are related to treatment outcome. Sixty male patients who were on methadone maintenance treatment for at least 3 years were classified into 2 groups consisting of 30 patients each. The classification variable was the use or non-use of heroin and/or other psychoactive substances for at least one year. Patients with a psychiatric disorder were excluded. Basic demographic data were recorded for each patient and we used their MMPI results starting from the period of admission. There were no significant differences in the scores of clinical and standard validity scales, excluding the F scale, between the 2 groups.
