Abstract
There was a significant reduction in the consumption of heroin and other psychoactives, and social rehabilitation of patients. However, the extensive overlap between effective and ineffective doses of methadone suggests the presence of personal and social variables that transcend the simple pharmacological management. These probably need to be addressed more successfully from the psychosocial features, particularly as regards to identifying and overcoming relapse-trigger experiences, as well as certain features of the patient, such as their psychological distress level or their psychiatric disorders.
