Poor results for methadone programme in Scotland,report researchers

摘要

Questions over the effectiveness of the methadone programme in Scotland were posed this week by researchers from Glasgow.Results from the Drug Outcome Research in Scotland (DORIS) study show that only 8 per cent of drug users become drug-free after nearly three years on a methadone programme.The researchers,led by Neil McKeganey,centre for drug misuse research,University of Glasgow,comment that this level of abstinence is substantially lower than that identified in England.
