RESUMEN
Fundamento Los programas de dispensación de metadona se han organizado en cada Comunidad Autónoma de una forma específica, desconociéndose sus costes derivados a pesar del interés que puede conllevar una gestión más eficiente. Nuestro estudio tiene por objetivo calcular los costes del programa de metadona en la ComunidadAutónoma de La Rioja.

Métodos:

El estudio se realizó en 2010. Los datos fueron recogidos a partir de los registros existentes en diferentes instituciones sanitarias, según las diferentes fases del programa. Los costes se clasificaron en función de las diferentes etapas y de los diferentes centros de dispensación.

Resultados:

El análisis de los datos muestra un coste total anual aproximado de 165.759 € para una concentración de 2 mg/ml de metadona, que significa un coste anual de 412,34 € por paciente .

Conclusiones:

La fase de dispensación de la metadona es la que mayor coste supone, el centro cuyos pacientes en términos relativos cuestan más al programa es el que cuenta con menor número de pacientes atendidos, debido a los costes fijos que han de repartirse entre menos personas, si bien el centro de Logroño tiene el mayor coste total por atender al mayor número de personas pero su coste medio por paciente es menor(AU)
ABSTRACT

Background:

Methadone programs have been organized in each Spanish region in a specific way. In spite of the regional interests to manage those programs in a more efficient way, so far the costs of the programs are unknown. As a previous step, it would be desirable to understand the activities related to these programs as well as their respective costs. This article aims to calculate the cost of the Methadone program in the autonomous community of La Rioja, and to understand those parameters which generate a greater cost to this programme.

Methods:

The study followed a similar structure as the research recently applied to the region of Murcia. The reference year for the study of the annual costs of the Methadone program was 2010. Data were obtained fromdifferent registries of several institutions involved in the regional program. Costs were classified according to different stages and dispensation centres which participated in this programme.

Results:

Data analysis, for a concentration of 2 mg/ml of methadone, showed an approximate annual cost of 165.759 €. Taking the total number of patients into consideration the individual cost was 412,34€.

Conclusions:

Dispensation is the stage which caused the largest cost to the programme, the highest per patient cost corresponded to the centre with less patients due to the fact that fixed costs are shared by a smaller group of persons; the biggest global cost of the programme came from Logroño’s center but its average cost is lower(AU)
