The successor to Strain and Stitzer's Methadone Treatment for Opioid Dependence (Johns Hopkins, 1999), this expanded and updated volume reflects new developments in treatment protocols. Methadone is still the most widely used medication for the treatment of opioid dependence, and the authors provide an extensive section on methadone treatment. Three chapters cover the pharmacology and clinical use of buprenorphine as well as the latest research on Naltrexone, Clonidine, and Lofexidine. The volume also includes chapters on pain and prescription opioids as well as medication-free treatment and medically supervised alternatives to opioid substitute treatments, including withdrawal. The Treatment of Opioid Dependence will be a valuable resource for methadone counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, mental health nurses, and addiction counselors, as well as physicians interested in office-based buprenorphine treatment.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The clinical expertise of the authors is reflected in the detailed, yet highly practical, information presented. -- Robert C. Wolf Annals of Pharmacotherapy 2006 Incredibly thorough and well organized... the first resource to refer to for anyone with any questions or interest in the treatment of opioid dependence. -- Steve C. Lee Doody's Book Review Service 2006 This book is a mine of information and is extensively referenced... the single best book I have read on the treatment of opioid dependence and I have no hesitation in recommending it. -- Michael J. A. K. Kelleher British Journal of Psychiatry 2006 A most welcome update of the 1999, Methadone Treatment of Opioid Dependence. -- Robert Maslansky Journal of Addictive Diseases 2006 This well-written, easy-to-read book, with an unassuming title, is truly a tour-de-force. Analogous to the porridge in the Goldilocks story, it is neither too little nor too much, but just right! -- Mark J. Albanese, M.D. American Journal on Addictions 2007
