摘要:

During the past quarter-century there have been innumerable reports throughout the world documenting the effectiveness of methadone maintenance treatment. None have been as consistently positive as those from Germany, where just a few years ago methadone was effectively banned. The German accomplishments in the past 6 years in treating addicts with methadone confirm the experience elsewhere: Methadone treatment is a highly desired alternative to many who wish to escape the life of the street addict; it is very effective in benefiting the individual patient as well as the general community; and it can be expanded rapidly and on a large scale. What is needed today is not further discussion but a firm commitment to make treatment available on request to every addict willing to accept it. With methadone maintenance—one treatment approach among many—this goal is achievable. There is no justification for settling for less.
