The present study introduced a novel behavioral approach for encouraging methadone-treated patients to bring drug-free significant other support into treatment. Seventy-five patients referred to high-intensity psychosocial treatment due to chronic drug use were given 3 weeks to identify a drug-free significant other. Patients noncompliant with this intervention were started on a methadone dose taper that was stopped when significant other support was identified. Patients and their significant others were required to attend a significant other group one time per week for a minimum of 6 weeks. Eighty-five percent of the patients brought a drug-free significant other into treatment. Significant others included family members, partners, and friends. Patients who identified significant other support complied with 77% of their scheduled sessions. The results demonstrated that most methadone patients have drug-free support people who are willing to participate in their treatment. These individuals can be utilized to help patients initiate the process of building new drug-free social support networks.
本研究引入了一种新的行为方法，以鼓励接受美沙酮治疗的患者将无毒品的重要他人支持引入治疗。75名因长期吸毒而接受高强度心理社会治疗的患者有3周时间来确定一名无毒品的重要他人。未遵守该干预措施的患者开始减少美沙酮剂量，当确定有重要他人支持时停止减量。患者及其重要他人被要求每周参加一次重要他人小组，至少参加6周。85%的患者将无毒品的重要他人引入了治疗。重要他人包括家庭成员、伴侣和朋友。确定有重要他人支持的患者遵守了77%的预定疗程。结果表明，大多数美沙酮治疗患者有无毒品支持人员，他们愿意参与患者的治疗。这些人可被用来帮助患者启动建立新的无毒品社会支持网络的进程。
