The authors present data from a survey of four methadone maintenance programs, five outpatient clinics, six nonresidential facilities, and nine therapeutic communities affiliated with the Dade County Comprehensive Drug Program. The treatment population included more blacks but fewer Latins than the general county population. Primary drugs of abuse were narcotics in methadone clinics and "softer" drugs in outpatient and nonresidential facilities. Most patients were either self- or court referrals. Direct per patient costs, which were lowest in the outpatient clinics, averaged $1,041. The authors suggest that their data may aid other comprehensive drug treatment programs in establishing guidelines.
作者展示了对四个美沙酮维持治疗项目、五个门诊诊所、六个非住院治疗机构以及九个与戴德县综合戒毒项目相关的治疗社区进行调查的数据。治疗人群中黑人比拉丁裔多，但比全县总人口中的拉丁裔少。在美沙酮诊所，主要滥用药物是麻醉药品，而在门诊和非住院治疗机构，主要滥用药物是“较温和”的药物。大多数患者是自我转诊或由法庭转诊。每位患者的直接费用在门诊诊所最低，平均为1041美元。作者认为他们的数据可能有助于其他综合戒毒治疗项目制定指导方针。
