“…Alternatively, it is fairly well recognized that opiate addicts may use and abuse a variety of different substances in addition to heroin (Sleznick and Prestopnik, 2005;Brooner et al, 1997;Flynn et al, 2003;Ornstein et al, 2000). It is therefore possible that cognitive deficits identified in opiate abusers occur due to the direct toxic effects of concomitant substance abuse, including adulterants, and/or the interactions of multiple drug use (Carlin et al, 1980;Grant et al, 1978;Darke et al, 2000).…”

Objective-An accumulating body of research suggests that former heroin abusers in methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) exhibit deficits in cognitive function. Whether these deficits are present in former methadone maintained patients following discontinuation of MMT is unknown. This study tests the hypothesis that former heroin users who have detoxified from methadone maintenance therapy and are drug-free have less pronounced cognitive impairment than patients continuing longterm MMT.Method-A series of neuropsychological tests were administered to three groups of subjects: 29 former heroin addicts receiving methadone maintenance treatment, 27 former heroin addicts withdrawn from all opiates, and 29 healthy controls without a history of drug dependence. Testing included Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Vocabulary Test, the Stroop Color-Word Test, the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, the Benton Visual Retention Test, and a Substance Use Inventory.Findings-Both methadone-maintained and abstinent subject groups performed worse than controls on tasks that measured verbal function, visual-spatial analysis and memory, and resistance to distractibility. Abstinent subjects performed worse than their methadone maintained counterparts on tests measuring visual memory and construct formation. Cognitive impairment did not correlate with any index of drug use.Conclusions-We confirmed previous findings of neuropsychological impairment in long-term MMT recipients. Both patients receiving MMT and former heroin users in prolonged abstinence exhibited a similar degree of cognitive impairment. Cognitive dysfunction in patients receiving methadone maintenance may not resolve following methadone detoxification.

“…Relapse into substance abuse has been correlated with social factors such as poor housing status, limited social support, and lack of drug treatment (Mayer et al, 1993), and with reports of family fights or drug use among family members or spouses (Ellis et al, 2004). Conversely, continued remission or successful recovery has been associated with older age and with living in residential treatment programs (Rollins et al, 2005), with reports of families getting along (Ellis et al, 2004), and with other measures of positive social support within local or family networks (Barber & Crisp, 1995;McMahon, 2001;Flynn et al, 2003;Granfield & Cloud, 2001). The concept of recovery capital (Cloud & Granfield, 2001, in fact, explicitly encompasses both the individual and the social levels.…”

This paper describes the process of developing a research proposal for submission to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in collaboration with an urban public health agency. Two university-based researchers from different social science disciplines, each with previous experience in substance abuse research, invested significant time learning about the key questions and concerns of participants in several community-based programs, including clients, administrators and professionals from the county drug court, law enforcement, and substance abuse treatment and recovery services. They then developed a proposal which integrated their own academic interests with the questions and concerns that they uncovered in their preliminary research. After the proposal was written, the researchers presented it to an audience of community partners. Following the successful funding of the study, negotiations with various partners continued throughout the data collection process. The paper concludes with some suggestions for other researchers who may wish to engage in this type of applied, collaborative, interdisciplinary research.

“…Empirical evidence indicates that religious/spiritual behaviors are also linked to reduced risk of relapse and improved posttreatment outcomes (Avants et al, 2001;Booth and Martin, 2001;Carter, 1998;Flynn et al, 2003;Moos, 2007;Pardini et al, 2000;Polcin and Zemore, 2004;Zemore and Kaskutas, 2004). Religious/spiritual behaviors have been examined as a treatment matching variable in Project MATCH (Matching Alcoholism Treatments to Client Heterogeneity; e.g., randomization to 12-step-facilitated treatment).…”
