abstract="Background and Objectives  A &quot;callback&quot; requires patients to bring in take-home methadone doses for inspection. An opioid treatment program (OTP) quality-improvement project examined random versus &quot;for-cause&quot; callbacks.   Method  Eighty-two random callbacks and 60 for-cause callbacks were conducted among patients enrolled in an OTP (N = 183).   Results  Among patients with more take home doses, 6% of random callbacks versus 44% of for-cause callbacks were failed. Among patients with fewer take home doses, 36% of for-cause callbacks were failed.   Discussion and Conclusions  For-cause callbacks are more useful than random ones.   Scientific Significance  For-cause callbacks based on clinical judgment detect methadone misuse. (Am J Addict 2017;26:50-52)<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
