Sammanfattning
Methadone and buprenorphine maintenance therapy of opiate dependence has been shown to be an effective and safe treatment method. Illicit non-opioid drug abuse before treatment is a risk factor for poor treatment outcome. How the outcome is affected by a non-opiod drug free period before treatment start has not been previously examined. Our results show that the demand for a longer drug-free period from non-opioids before treatment improves the outcome.
