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.

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.

This excellent volume . . . is written in clear language throughout and meant to be accessible to a wide range of readers—clinicians from counselors to academic physicians subspecializing in addictions, as well as students, administrators, and legislators . . . This book should be required reading for members of Congress.
—Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
An excellent source of information for practitioners whose primary focus is in the treatment of opioid-dependent patients as well as practitioners who are involved in the ancillary treatment of such patients.
—Annals of Pharmacotherapy
A clearly written book that deftly covers a wide array of issues. It belongs on the shelves of all clinicians who work with opioid dependent individuals.
—American Journal of Psychiatry
