A number of studies have shown association between drug dependence and other psychiatric disorders. This study reported on the level of depressive symptomatology reported by a sample of opiate addicts, who were receiving methadone maintenance therapy and attending the Drug Treatment Centre in Dublin. A high level of depressive symptoms was found after completion of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The clinical implications of depressive symptoms in opiate addicts were discussed.
