description A study was undertaken to investigate the influence of methadone prescribes' commitment to abstinence-oriented policies on retention in their maintenance programs. Two hundred and eighty patients recently enrolled in single-person, private methadone programs were interviewed and followed for 8 years. The prescribing physicians' scores on an Abstinence Orientation Scale, derived from an independent sample of methadone program staff, were significantly associated with their patients' risk of premature discharge. The influence of program orientation on retention was greater the higher the maximum dose of methadone. More attention should be paid to the effect of staff attitudes and beliefs on the effectiveness of maintenance treatment.
