Book excerpt: Arent they just getting high at taxpayers expense? Does it really ?Çÿeat your bones? Do they have to stay on that stuff forever? I thought Suboxone meant we wouldnt need methadone anymore. Learn the truth behind the Zombie effect Methadone is one tool in our fight against opiate dependency. As with any tool, it can be used, or it can be abused. We need every tool that we can get. Methadone is not the liquid handcuffs - the addiction is the handcuffs. Methadone can be the key to freedom from those handcuffs if it is used effectively. Addiction cant be contained by jail, and it wont be ignored. It will continue to pull down our culture until we acknowledge its power, and grapple with it in effective and realistic ways.
Download or read book Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment written by Committee on Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly three decades, methadone hydrochloride has been the primary means of treating opiate addiction. Today, about 115,000 people receive such treatment, and thousands more have benefited from it in the past. Even though methadone's effectiveness has been well established, its use remains controversial, a fact reflected by the extensive regulation of its manufacturing, labeling, distribution, and use. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the safety and effectiveness of methadone, as it does for all drugs, and the Drug Enforcement Administration regulates it as a controlled substance. However, methadone is also subjected to a unique additional tier of regulation that prescribes how and under what circumstances it may be used to treat opiate addiction. Federal Regulation of Methadone Treatment examines current Department of Health and Human Services standards for narcotic addiction treatment and the regulation of methadone treatment programs pursuant to those standards. The book includes an evaluation of the effect of federal regulations on the provision of methadone treatment services and an exploration of options for modifying the regulations to allow optimal clinical practice. The volume also includes an assessment of alternatives to the existing regulations.

This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The abuse of heroin and other opiates is a serious and growing public health problem. According to the 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 166,000 Americans use heroin. In addition, 4.4 million use opiate pain relievers (including Vicodin, Percodan, Percocet, and OxyContin) without a prescription. Abuse of legal pain relievers represents a growing category: in 2004, approximately 2.4 million Americans abused prescription pain relievers for the first time. In total, about 1.9% of Americans are abusing illegal or legal opiates. Furthermore, opiate dependence is increasing worldwide, and significantly exacerbating the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has been the primary form of treatment for opiate dependence in the U.S. for over 40 years. It involves providing drug abusers with a less addictive opiate (methadone) in a clinical setting, and then gradually tapering the methadone dosage. While on methadone, patients receive counseling and other medical treatments (i.e. hepatitis screening) as needed. The ability to provide all of these treatments in one location has made MMT the most effective treatment for opiate dependence to date. In the United States alone, there are more than 1,200 MMT programs, with an estimated staff of 20,000, serving more than 200,000 patients annually yet, to date, there has been no comprehensive, user-friendly professional reference book on these programs. This book fills the gap. It is written for a diverse audience, including clinicians, program administrators, substance abuse treatment researchers, and other health service professionals who want to learn about all aspects of MMT. Policy makers interested in establishing new programs, domestically and internationally, will find the information useful. The book offers insights into the effectiveness of methadone, and the characteristics of successful methadone treatment programs (budgets, services, staff, etc.), as well as regulation and accreditation issues. The information presented is based on a study of nearly 150 MMT programs in 15 states.

Download or read book The Enlightened Guide To Methadone Maintenance Treatment written by Kay John Borzsony and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of a new era is upon us, and that is the era of medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction as a first-line treatment. Ever since the first methadone clinics opened in the early 1970s in the U.S., nothing in medicine has been the subject of more stigma, controversy, misinformation, and downright mythology than methadone maintenance treatment (MMT.) The stigma against MMT is staggering and well-known, and it is the primary intent of this text to eliminate all of the false myths and fears surrounding MMT by providing accurate, if not always politically correct information in an easy to understand format.Do you, a loved one, friend, or family member suffer from severe opioid addiction? Tired of using the revolving door of abstinence-only-based treatment, only to constantly feel like a failure in spite of the fact that you want desperately to get better? Are you interested in the most researched, evidence-based, and most importantly, effective treatment modality for opioid addiction, one which has been considered the "Gold Standard" amongst addiction specialists for 50 years?If you are reading this, chances are that what you will discover between the covers of this book will astonish, shock, and possibly even anger you. Considering that abstinence-based treatment has been widely known to be ineffective for serious opioid addiction for at least a century, you may even have some questions of your own as to why such an effective treatment for opioid addiction has been hidden for so long from public-view, until now.This book has been designed to answer almost any serious question about Methadone Maintenance Treatment, and it does so in a manner which is groundbreaking: No more "conventional wisdom" or politically-correct B.S., this text cuts to the chase and, for the first time in publishing, tells the naked, unvarnished Truth about this vastly under-utilized, life-saving, indeed, life-changing treatment modality. Once you've read it, you'll never see methadone in the same tired and slanderous light ever again. Rigorously researched and cross-referenced over a period of five years, this book is the only serious text on the subject written for everyone from patients to treatment providers.
