abstract="Alcohol use among Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) patients poses a major health risk, exacerbates psychopathology, and increases the risk of death by accidental overdose. Despite these factors, screening for alcohol use remains underutilized in the methadone community. Utilizing a self-report screening measure - the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST) - and consistent with the literature, we found high rates of alcohol problems among MMT patients. Benefits and limitations of using the MAST to screen for alcohol use patterns are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
