Funded Activity Summary

The aim of this research is to assess the effectiveness of methadone maintenance treatment in Indonesian prisons in improving outcomes for heroin dependent inmates. This is the first study of methadone in prisons in Asia. It is expected that treated prisoners will inject drugs less often, leading to a reduction in HIV transmission. It is also expected that, once released, treated prisoners will be less likely to re-offend and be re-imprisoned.
