摘要:
The current federal narcotic detoxification policy, limiting such treatment to 21 d, is analyzed with respect to its impact on the success rate for complete withdrawal. Data are drawn from an historical review of American Medical Association statements on narcotic addiction and a review of empirical data on short- and long-term detoxification. The 3-week limit is shown to interfere with achieving successful detoxification rates, although it continues to guide federal detoxification policy. Empirical evidence supports long-term detoxification that recognizes other factors as also having a therapeutic effect. It is time to revise the current federal policy to more accurately reflect the progress made in long-term care.
