This article reports on a study to uncover the health concerns of clients attending a methadone maintenance programme provided by an addiction service in Ireland. The Health Concerns Questionnaire 3 was completed by 261 clients. The most endorsed items tended to be psychosocial health concerns, particularly mood-related items. Additional comments highlighted various health issues such as hepatitis C, diet, and sexual and mental health. The research also highlighted the importance if eliciting client feedback within health services.
