Table 2 Factor loadings in the "Compliance" and "Accessibility" scale

OMT patients who ignore repeated warnings to stop using heroin should be gradually withdrawn off methadone

OMT patients who continue to abuse non-opioid drugs (e.g. benzodiazepines) should have their dose of OMT medication reduced.

If repeated warnings of non-prescriptive use of benzodiazepines are ignored, the patient should be discharged from the OMT program

If repeated warnings of use of Cannabis are ignored, the patient should be discharged from treatment (OMT)

The GP should waive the right to prescribe class A and B drugs other than the OMT medication to OMT patients

OMT patients who continue to take drugs and function poorly should be discharged from the OMT program

It is unethical to discharge patients from the OMT program due to continuing drug use and poor functioning
