	abstract = {We surveyed 293 opioid dependent individuals seeking methadone maintenance treatment about their pain experiences and their substance-related pain reduction behaviors. Among the 213 respondents reporting recent pain of at least moderate typical pain intensity, two-thirds had a lifetime history of chronic pain. In comparison to those without a lifetime history of chronic pain, those with a lifetime history were older, reported higher pain frequency, were more likely to endorse accident or surgery and less likely to endorse "don{\textquoteright}t know" as the genesis of their recent pain, and endorsed comparable levels of substance-related pain reduction behaviors. These findings may have implications for resource and program planning in MMT programs.},
