description Background: Sexual dysfunction is a common complication of methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) and buprenorphine maintenance therapy (BMT). The aim of this study was to evaluate of sexual function in addicted men under treatment with methadone and buprenorphine. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 30 men undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (n=15) and buprenorphine (n=15) were included in the study in Kashan addiction treatment centers. The Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) questionnaire was used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software and using Fisher's exact tests, independent t test and linear regression. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean total score of sexual performance between the methadone (38.40±13.58) and buprenorphine (38.33±14.56) groups (P=0.733). Conclusion: The results showed that in both groups, sexual performance was at an unfavorable level, and therefore, it is recommended that future studies focus on providing strategies to improve sexual performance and satisfaction in patients undergoing maintenance treatment with methadone and buprenorphine.
