Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The present study examined the dynamics of IDUs social support and adherence to treatment regimens over time. The participants were 100 HIV+ patients on a methadone maintenance program in Madrid (Spain). The data were elicited using a structured, interviewer- administered questionnaire and were followed for one year. We investigate the following 4 groups of patients: those who continued the treatment, those who refused the treatment, those who started the treatment and the patients where there was treatment failure. Conclusions: social support is an important variable in the start, continuation and also in ultimate failure of medical treatment.
