Two case studies are used to demonstrate the possibility of rehabilitating heroin addicts by means of maintenance treatment with methadone. The subjects had been addicted to heroin for more than 20 years, and had gone through several drug-free programmes of treatment. The subjects were studied using a series of neuropsychological tests. These showed normal neuropsychological status, and the necessary cognitive conditions for attending work and driving a car. Important factors in a successful maintenance treatment are: thorough psychological diagnosis before the treatment is started, close follow-up and frequent urine tests.
