Details

  • Description:
    DAART in a Methadone Clinic is an individual-level intervention. A nurse or medical assistant observes patients taking their HIV medications in a private room that is distinct from the methadone-dispensing window each morning the patients attend the methadone clinic. Evening doses and doses to be taken on methadone take-home days are prepackaged and given to patients for self-administration. An emergency 3-day packet of medications is provided in case of a missed methadone visit. The treatment goal is to provide DAART for at least 1 year, but if patients wish, they can continue DAART for longer.
