Methadone Maintenance for Prisoners

Friends Research Institute, Inc.·interventional·Posted Sep 19, 2006·Updated Apr 3, 2014

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Counseling Only, Counseling + Transfer, and 1 other intervention for Heroin Addiction. Completed, enrolled 211 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This five-year study examines the benefits of methadone maintenance treatment initiated in prison and continued in the community to male offenders who were previously, but not currently, heroin-dependent. It is anticipated that such prisoners will have more favorable outcomes in the year following release with regard to drug abuse, crime, and HIV risk behavior than either prisoners who receive counseling only or begin initiation of methadone maintenance in the community
