Abstract
There is evidence to support the effectiveness of
methadone maintenance treatment (MM) from several
countries, and it is increasingly applied as a treatment
approach in Europe. The quality of provision of
adjunctive psychosocial treatments has been shown
to be important in the effectiveness of MM. Cognitive
behaviour therapy (CBT) has become the leading treatment
approach in a variety of psychological disorders.
In contrast, relatively little research has been conducted
to evaluate the effectiveness, and particularly
cost effectiveness, of CBT in substance use disorders.
There are several reasons to expect that CBT could
make a significant impact on drug misuse and associated
problems. CBT has been evaluated as an adjunct
to MM. Several RCTs have been undertaken to assess
the efficacy of psychotherapy in methadone maintenance
treatment. The evidence from these studies,
which were exclusively conducted in the US, overall
support the efficacy of CBT, although the models of
CBT applied varied considerably between studies.
One study showed that CBT was more effective than
minimal methadone treatment. However, the efficacy
and cost effectiveness of CBT in MM in the UK NHS
setting is unknown.
