Methadone maintenance programs have effectively reduced opiate dependency and are available in many countries, also in Poland. In Kraków 50 persons were qualified to methadone maintenance treatment. Their age varied from 21 to 46 years, mean 27.8 years. Participants of the programme were mainly educated on basic technical level, unemployed, after 3 to 30 attempts of detoxification treatment. After initial observation at the Detoxification Unit of the Department of Clinical Toxicology and establishing effective daily oral dose of methadone, all patients in Outpatient Clinic of Abuse receive daily adequate dose of methadone, where in parallel, individual and group psychotherapy is used. Methadone programme which was applied seems to prove the fact, that it can significantly improve life quality of addicted patients as well as increase the level of public safety.
美沙酮维持治疗项目已有效减少了阿片类药物依赖，并且在许多国家都有，波兰也不例外。在克拉科夫，有50人符合美沙酮维持治疗的条件。他们的年龄在21岁至46岁之间，平均年龄为27.8岁。该项目的参与者主要是接受过基础技术教育、失业的人群，他们此前已经历过3至30次戒毒治疗。在临床毒理学系戒毒科进行初步观察并确定美沙酮的有效每日口服剂量后，滥用门诊的所有患者都接受了每日足量的美沙酮治疗，同时还采用了个体和团体心理治疗。所实施的美沙酮项目似乎证明了这样一个事实，即它可以显著提高成瘾患者的生活质量，并提升公共安全水平。
