Good, but cautious by Robinette (USA)  3 Stars
April 08, 2000
This is a good book on current practice of methadone and other opioid agonist therapy, but it is very cautious about innovations in treatment (or a return to the more effective Dole-Nyswander model) like adequate dosing, use of other drugs and other therapuetic interventions. An excellent review of cost effectiveness.
