Correlates of cocaine use during methadone treatment: implications for screening and clinical management (ANRS Methaville study).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cocaine use is frequent in patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and can jeopardize their treatment response. Identifying clinical predictors of cocaine use during methadone treatment can potentially improve clinical management. We used longitudinal data from the ANRS Methaville trial both to describe self-reported occasional and regular cocaine use during MMT and to identify clinical predictors.

Methods

We selected 183 patients who had data on cocaine (or crack) use at months 0 (M0), M6, and/or M12, accounting for 483 visits. The outcome was "cocaine use" in three categories: "no," "occasional," and "regular" use. To identify factors associated with the outcome over time, we performed a mixed multinomial logistic regression.
