Differences in psychiatric distress and substance use (licit and illicit) were examined in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients with a variety of pain experiences. Parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were performed on data obtained from 150 patients currently enrolled in MMT. In comparison to MMT patients reporting no pain in the previous week, those with chronic severe pain (CSP) (i.e., pain lasting at least 6 months with moderate to severe pain intensity or significant pain interference) exhibited significantly higher (p < 0.01) levels of depression, anxiety, somatization, overall psychiatric distress, and personality disorder criteria, but reported comparable rates of substance use. A third group, i.e., non-CSP MMT patients reporting some pain in the past week, differed significantly (p < 0.05) from the other two pain groups on somatization, anxiety, and global psychiatric distress but reported comparable rates of substance use. Pain-related differences in psychiatric problems exist in MMT patients and may have implications for program planning and outreach efforts.
