In order to better understand the components of effective treatment for the understudied population of opioid-dependent youth, separate focus groups were conducted in 2006 with clients, clinical staff, and clients' parents (total n = 22) at a novel methadone maintenance program for adolescents and young adults in suburban New York. Focus group sessions were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed for common themes. Clients, staff, and parents all reported that effective treatment for opioid addiction among young people is a long-term program, combines pharmacological and behavioral approaches, emphasizes a high degree of individual attention from staff, and incorporates clients' family members. The study's limitations were noted.
为了更好地了解针对阿片类药物依赖青少年这一研究较少人群的有效治疗的组成部分，2006 年在纽约郊区的一个新的青少年和年轻成人美沙酮维持治疗项目中，分别对患者、临床工作人员和患者的父母（共计 22 人）进行了焦点小组讨论。对焦点小组会议进行了录音、转录和主题分析。患者、工作人员和家长都报告说，针对年轻人阿片类药物成瘾的有效治疗是一个长期的项目，结合了药理学和行为方法，强调工作人员给予高度的个性化关注，并纳入了患者的家庭成员。研究的局限性也被指出。
