Conventional and unconventional treatments for stress among methadone-maintained patients: Treatment willingness and perceived efficacy
Open accessAbstract
We surveyed 150 methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program patients about willingness to use, and perceived efficacy of, conventional and unconventional nonpharmacological stress-related treatments. Although levels of treatment willingness and perceived efficacy for both conventional and unconventional treatments were high, ratings for conventional interventions were, on average, significantly higher than those for unconventional ones. Dimensions of psychiatric distressa - but not demographic or MMT characteristicsa - predicted treatment willingness for conventional therapies and treatment willingness and perceived efficacy for unconventional therapies. These findings are likely to have implications for resource and program planning in MMT programs. © American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry.

The Method and Results (page unavailable) show that this paper examined opiate-dependent patients’ preferences among treatment options, including methadone; the Discussion describes some options as controversial. But the participants were not identified specifically as methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients, and the Discussion calls this one of a few UK studies, not the only published paper on the subject.

The Results sections on allopathic and CAM pain treatment utilization report use of conventional medications and multiple complementary treatments. The study concerns pain relief among methadone-maintained patients with some or chronic severe pain; it does not establish the same pattern for opioid-dependent patients generally or for medical interventions unrelated to pain.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
