Abstrakt		The aim of this study was to discover what clinical and sociodemographic differences separate heroin addicts without (AWC) and those with comorbidity (substance abuse and mental illness-SAMI) among those seeking help in an outpatient methadone clinic. The RSDA instrument and ICD-10 were used. Forty-seven patients (32 males, 15 females) were included (23 SAMI and 24 AWC). SAMI patients had comorbid depression and anxiety disorders. They had more symptoms (anxiety, affective symptoms, sleeping problems, inappetence), and they more frequently abused unprescribed hypnotics and amphetamines before their inclusion in a treatment programme than did AWC patients. Mean dose of methadone in SAMI patients was 63.4 mg and in AWC 43.7 mg daily (p=0.10).
