“…Perhaps one of the reasons for the insignificant difference between drug-dependent and non-drug dependent groups in this study was methadone maintenance treatment, which relatively improved quality of life in drug-dependent people. The present results suggest relatively good scores of individuals who received methadone maintenance treatment, which is consistent with the results of other studies done on the quality of life of people undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (9,(16)(17)(18).…”

Background: Drug dependency is one of the most important issues in any society and it is among the most widespread health risk factors. Objective: This study was conducted to determine quality of life in drug-dependent individuals, who were under methadone treatment, and non-drug dependent persons in Shahroud (northeast of Iran). Methods: In this comparative study, 266 drug dependent participants and 541 non-drug dependent participants were studied in 2014. The Persian version of SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analyzed using chi square test, t test, and ANOVA.

“…In the literature, trajectories of health outcomes under MMT were consistent. In Taiwan, Malaysia, China, the health-related quality of life of MMT patients, as measured using the WHOQOL-BREF -a generic health profile developed by the World Health Organization, increases gradually up to two year of MMT (Karow et al, 2010;Musa et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Xiao, Wu, Luo, & Wei, 2010). Similarly, in this study, we found that the improvement in health utility that was attributable to MMT was independent on the length of taking MMT.…”

“…An example of a combined intervention was case management combined with motivational interviewing as a single intervention; results did not distinguish the separate effects of case management and motivational interviewing (Karow et al, 2010).

Objective: Case management has been widely used as an intervention in the treatment of substance abuse problems. Its effectiveness has been associated with over 450 outcomes, some consistent with case management's traditional functions of linking (treatment tasks) and others typical of treatment outcomes such as substance use (personal functioning). Method: Meta-analyses were conducted on 21 randomized clinical trials in which we compared the efficacy of case management with standard-of-care conditions and active interventions. Characteristics of case managementincluding targeted outcomes, case management model, location on the treatment continuum, and intervention quality-were treated as moderators, as were 2 study features, length of follow-up, and methodological quality. Results: Results showed that case management was efficacious across all targeted outcomes when compared with standard of care (␦ ϭ 0.15, SE ϭ 0.037), although the overall effect was weak. There was a significant difference, F(1, 429) ϭ 25.26, p Ͻ .0001, between case management's effect on treatment task outcomes such as linking with and staying in treatment (␦ 2 ϭ .29, p ϭ .001) and improving individuals' functioning of persons with substance abuse problems in areas such as substance use and HIV risk behaviors (␦ 1 ϭ 0.06, p ϭ .05). Moderator analyses demonstrated that (a) 4 case management models were more effective than standard of care in improving treatment task outcomes and (b) case management was effective either in or out of treatment. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that case management is effective across a wide range of treatment task outcomes, but more limited in its effectiveness with personal functioning outcomes.
