Methadone heals, but methadone kills. Methadone is a life-saving treatment, but methadone is also a life-threatening poison. The challenge is how to confer the benefit without incurring the harm. Methadone is by far the most widely prescribed drug in the treatment of heroin addiction, and yet, all too often, we are clumsy in our use of this powerful drug. So how much of the observed benefit is to do with methadone itself? When is it ever prescribed, and for whom, and how? Methadone Matters answers these questions and more. This multi-authored book is the essential guide to increasing the relevance and effectiveness of methadone treatment. Like it or loathe it, Methadone Matters.

Professor John Strang's involvement with the Department of Health has covered the period of the introduction of harm reduction initiatives, and also the preparation of the 'Orange Guidelines'; in both, a more competent use of methadone treatment is charted.

This review is from: Methadone Matters: Evolving Community Methadone Treatment of Opiate Addiction (Paperback)
I am using this book to help prepare a class in opioid replacement therapy. This book has great articles, each of which are very informative. I will probably make this book required reading in my class.
