Clinical data from 153 patients enrolled in a trial comparing six months of buprenorphine/naltrexone versus methadone were analyzed. A secondary analysis evaluated patient characteristics and program factors, and a Markov chain analysis assessed differences in stimulant use by treatment type. Patients on methadone, those who began treatment later in the study, attended weekly group sessions, had longer periods of abstinence in the prior year, or were not intravenous drug users showed better retention. Buprenorphine did not reduce stimulant use more effectively than methadone. Findings suggest that methadone combined with counseling supports greater treatment retention, which may lead to improved outcomes, while neither medication showed clear advantages in reducing stimulant use. 000000608 540__ $$fCC BY 000000608 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000608 650__ $$aMethamphetamine$$022135 000000608 650__ $$aMethadone$$022132 000000608 650__ $$aSubstance-Related Disorders$$032029 000000608 650__ $$aCocaine$$016839 000000608 650__ $$aBuprenorphine$$015903 000000608 650__ $$aLiver$$021580 000000608 650__ $$aRetention in Care$$012581 000000608 650__ $$aNaltrexone$$022668 000000608 650__ $$aAnalgesics, Opioid$$014660 000000608 650__ $$aSubstance Abuse Treatment Centers$$029062 000000608 650__ $$aCounseling$$017157 000000608 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000608 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000608 7001_ $$aCarr, Kathryn$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000608 7201_ $$aChoi, Dongseok$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000608 8564_ $$9349551a6-6606-42a1-8018-3a18a6f51bf4$$s568581$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/608/files/609_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$22f4aa3137a53b4d334ab8470faf3838d$$31 000000608 905__ $$a/rest/prod/2f/75/r8/08/2f75r8081 000000608 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:608$$pstudent-work 000000608 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000608 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
