AB Methadone maintenance clients who used benzodiazepines were compared
with other methadone maintenance clients on a range of drug use and
psychosocial treatment outcome measures. Despite being on higher
methadone doses, benzodiazepine users were more likely to have recently
injected, to have used cocaine and amphetamines, to have borrowed or
lent used needles and syringes, and to have reported polydrug use in the
preceding month. Benzodiazepine users also exhibited higher levels of
psychopathology and social dysfunction than other methadone maintenance
clients. It is concluded that benzodiazepine-using methadone maintenance
clients are a dysfunctional subgroup of the methadone population, who
may require more clinical intervention than other clients.
