The results of this study suggest that clinic (onsite) pharmacy methadone dosing results in a greater likelihood of retention in MMT compared to community (offsite) pharmacy dosing. The study highlights the importance of coordinating delivery of care across patient, physician, and pharmacist in delivery of treatment services.
