Abstract
It was found that when compared with those who stay in methadone maintenance treatment for less than 18 months, those who remain at least 18 months have a lower pretreatment and a lower in-treatment arrest record. It is questioned, however, if this group entered with a favorable bias and would have responded better to any form of treatment, including simple dispensation of methadone.
