abstract: 'Background: Project Access UK was designed to provide real-world
|
|
|
|
observations on the status of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) of
|
|
|
|
opioid dependence.
|
|
|
|
Methods: 544 respondents from three groups (physicians, patients in MAT
|
|
|
|
and out-of-treatment users) were interviewed or completed
|
|
|
|
questionnaires.
|
|
|
|
Results: Patient reasons for seeking treatment included ending their
|
|
|
|
dependence and improving their health and well-being. Patients and users
|
|
|
|
reported a mean of 4.0 versus 2.7 prior MAT episodes, but patient
|
|
|
|
awareness of the main treatment options varied from 94\% for methadone
|
|
|
|
to 46\% for buprenorphine-naloxone. Among patients, 49\% requested a
|
|
|
|
specific medication (mostly methadone) and 78\% of requests were
|
|
|
|
granted. Forty percent of patients were not currently receiving
|
|
|
|
psychosocial or key-working support. Daily supervised dosing was most
|
|
|
|
commonly cited as a condition of staying in treatment with the biggest
|
|
|
|
impact on daily life (36\%). Among patients, 56\% continued to use
|
|
|
|
illicit drugs on top of their MAT and few (7\%) were in employment. The
|
|
|
|
majority of patients (56\%) and users (51\%) had been in prison (an
|
|
|
|
average of 6.8 times).
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Patients are motivated to recover. However, the full range
|
|
|
|
of evidence-based interventions are not fully utilised and many patients
|
|
|
|
cycle repeatedly through periods of treatment, relapse and imprisonment.'
