BACKGROUND: Little is known about the cost of methadone maintenance treatments in opioid-dependent individuals. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Calculation of cost was achieved by applying an activity-based costing and management method from Conselleria de Sanitat of Catalonia, Spain (1997). RESULTS: The cost of each methadone dose was 76 ptas. First medical visits cost 4,517 ptas. Urine tests cost 760 ptas. Transportation amounted to 18,895 ptas. CONCLUSION: Such a costing method is applicable and reveals the low cost of this methadone maintenance treatment in opioid-dependent subjects.
