Perceptions and Experiences of Methadone Maintenance Treatment : A Qualitative Descriptive Research Study

Over the past 10 years, there has been a consistent increase in opioid use, which has resulted in an increase in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). With retention in MMT being a key factor, to understand the process of retention, it is important to better understand individual perceptions and experiences. Little research in Ottawa, Ontario, has addressed the perspective of MMT from people enrolled in MMT; therefore, nursing-based research was undertaken. The objective was to understand the process and experiences associated with MMT from the perspective of persons who are enrolled in treatment. Twelve participants were engaged in semistructured interviews. These participants described that, although MMT can positively affect the people who use such a treatment option, multiple barriers, including social perceptions, physical environment, and healthcare delivery practices, continue to affect MMT initiation and delivery.
