Twenty-three methadone-maintained individuals seeking admission into a cocaine study were interviewed using the Pattern-of-Drug-Use assessment. Sample characteristics included: 96% male, 91% Caucasian, and 36 +/- 5 mean years of age. Mean methadone dose was 81 +/- 20 mg. On average, subjects reported using greater than $200 or 5 grams of cocaine per week. "Binge/crash" cocaine use did not appear to be the typical pattern of use. However, during daily periods of cocaine use, repeated injections of large amounts of cocaine were taken, which may place patients at risk for medical complications. These findings emphasize the importance of developing novel treatment strategies to treat these dually-addicted individuals.
使用药物使用模式评估方法对23名寻求进入可卡因研究的美沙酮维持治疗个体进行了访谈。样本特征包括：96%为男性，91%为白种人，平均年龄36±5岁。平均美沙酮剂量为81±20毫克。平均而言，受试者报告每周使用超过200美元或5克可卡因。“狂吸/戒断”式可卡因使用似乎并非典型使用模式。然而，在每日使用可卡因期间，会反复注射大量可卡因，这可能使患者面临医疗并发症风险。这些发现强调了开发新治疗策略以治疗这些双重成瘾个体的重要性。
