Temporal Associations Between Medication Adherence For Patients With Schizophrenia and Opioid Dependence: A 17-year Canadian Cohort Study

July 22, 2019 by ATForum

The current study investigated whether a previously reported beneficial effect of methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) on antiretroviral adherence is also present in relation to antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia. Administrative data were linked over a 17-year period for 1996 people who were dually diagnosed with schizophrenia and opioid dependence and, as an indicator of further marginalization, experienced at least one episode of correctional supervision in British Columbia.

Antipsychotic adherence was more than twice as likely following periods of adherence to MMT among dually-diagnosed patients.
