The dawn of a new era is upon us, and that is the era of medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction as a first-line treatment. Ever since the first methadone clinics opened in the early 1970s in the U.S., nothing in medicine has been the subject of more stigma, controversy, misinformation, and downright mythology than methadone maintenance treatment (MMT.) The stigma against MMT is staggering and well-known, and it is the primary intent of this text to eliminate all of the false myths and fears surrounding MMT by providing accurate, if not always politically correct information in an easy to understand format.Do you, a loved one, friend, or family member suffer from severe opioid addiction? Tired of using the revolving door of abstinence-only-based treatment, only to constantly feel like a failure in spite of the fact that you want desperately to get better? Are you interested in the most researched, evidence-based, and most importantly, effective treatment modality for opioid addiction, one which has been considered the “Gold Standard” amongst addiction specialists for 50 years?If you are reading this, chances are that what you will discover between the covers of this book will astonish, shock, and possibly even anger you. Considering that abstinence-based treatment has been widely known to be ineffective for serious opioid addiction for at least a century, you may even have some questions of your own as to why such an effective treatment for opioid addiction has been hidden for so long from public-view, until now.This book has been designed to answer almost any serious question about Methadone Maintenance Treatment, and it does so in a manner which is groundbreaking: No more “conventional wisdom” or politically-correct B.S., this text cuts to the chase and, for the first time in publishing, tells the naked, unvarnished Truth about this vastly under-utilized, life-saving, indeed, life-changing treatment modality. Once you’ve read it, you’ll never see methadone in the same tired and slanderous light ever again. Rigorously researched and cross-referenced over a period of five years, this book is the only serious text on the subject written for everyone from patients to treatment providers.
