AB A sample of 222 methadone maintenance (MM) clients were tested for a
diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). The majority
(60.8%) of clients qualified for a lifetime diagnosis of ASPD, 25.7%
received a current diagnosis of ASPD, and a conduct disorder of
childhood was diagnosed for 68.5% of subjects. The most common symptoms
of ASPD among MM clients were unlawful behaviours, aggressiveness and
recklessness. Lack of remorse was reported by less than a third of
subjects with a lifetime diagnosis of ASPD. Subjects with a current
diagnosis of ASPD had been retained in treatment as long as other
clients, and were no more likely to be currently injecting or sharing
injecting equipment. It is concluded that clients with ASPD can be
retained in MM treatment, and can respond to MM treatment as well as
other clients.
