Outcome of Patients With High Depressive Symptoms on Admission to Methadone Maintenance Treatment.

Conclusions: Newly admitted depressed and nondepressed patients succeeded similarly in the first year retention in treatment, despite their cocaine and benzodiazepine co-abuse. The depression was characterized with females and with rape history in those who were already in MMT. Adequate intervention is recommended for both depressed groups to improve long-term retention and outcome. PMID: 31530109 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
