Publisher Synopsis
The clinical expertise of the authors is reflected in the detailed, yet highly practical, information presented. -- Robert C. Wolf Annals of Pharmacotherapy 2006 Incredibly thorough and well organized... the first resource to refer to for anyone with any questions or interest in the treatment of opioid dependence. -- Steve C. Lee Doody's Book Review Service 2006 This book is a mine of information and is extensively referenced... the single best book I have read on the treatment of opioid dependence and I have no hesitation in recommending it. -- Michael J. A. K. Kelleher British Journal of Psychiatry 2006 A most welcome update of the 1999, Methadone Treatment of Opioid Dependence. -- Robert Maslansky Journal of Addictive Diseases 2006 This well-written, easy-to-read book, with an unassuming title, is truly a tour-de-force. Analogous to the porridge in the Goldilocks story, it is neither too little nor too much, but just right! -- Mark J. Albanese, M.D. American Journal on Addictions 2007 Read more...
