[Drug dependent patients in the methadone maintenance program: evaluation in primary care of psychosocial and organic severity].

OBJECTIVE
To describe the profile of bio-psycho-social gravity in opiate-dependent patients in the Methadone Maintenance Programme.


DESIGN
A descriptive crossover study.


SETTING
Primary Care Centre.


PATIENTS
31 heroin-dependent patients on Methadone treatment at a drug-dependency care centre who attended the Health Centre for drug dispensing, between February and December 1996.


MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS
All patients were given the semi-structured clinical interview Opiate Treatment Index (OTI) and filled in the self-administered APGAR family questionnaire. 48.3% had little deterioration in their "General Health Status" section and 54.8% had low scores in "Conduct causing risk of HIV contagion".


CONCLUSIONS
The observed data are consistent with the results to be expected in this kind of programme. The multidimensional evaluation instruments are a tool that can be used to tackle drug-dependent patients in Primary Care.
