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.

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.

This TIP also educates patients, families, and the general public about how OUD medications work and the benefits they offer.
