Abstract
Patient demographic and psychological characteristics as predisposing factors, and dose size and availability of alternative treatment systems as treatment variables in determining length of stay at MMTP [methadone maintenance treatment programs] were discussed. There is considerable evidence that predisposing factors and treatment variables interact in affecting retention rates. The implications of this interaction for research in MMTP effectiveness were discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
