The MMPI was completed by 74 applicants to a Suffolk County methadone maintenance program. All had measurable psychopathology as reflected in T scores of 70 or above on one or more of the original clinical scales. Data demonstrated heterogeneity in MMPI protocol code types, character structure, and psychopathological indications. Comparisons with previously reported data for addict samples committed to federal and state treatment units indicates fewer neurotic and sociopathic, but more schizotypic, incipient schizophrenic, or schizophrenic personality types applying to the methadone maintenance clinic. The most prevalent code type seen (842'), however, was identical with that reported for a sample of 117 patients seen at a VA methadone maintenance clinic
