Treatment of Opiate Addiction With Methadone: A Counselor's Manual. Technical Assistance Publications Series 7
(CSAT, 1994) 183 pp. BKD151
A manual is presented to facilitate the training of new counselors and to improve the quality of the counseling component of methadone treatment. One of the most important starting points in developing a professional attitude regarding methadone treatment is understanding that methadone is a medication. A second, equally important fact is that methadone does not cure opiate addiction. Current U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations require that methadone treatment be delivered within an environment that offers supportive counseling and rehabilitation services. Methadone maintenance is the treatment modality that requires the greatest understanding of the rationale and regulations surrounding its use. The rationale, procedures, regulations, and patient care guidelines for the delivery of methadone maintenance treatment are presented. Methadone detoxification is a process that often provides an entry point into the system of opiate treatment. Counselors in methadone programs need to be able to provide specialized information and counseling approaches to patients who have special problems, such as terminal illness, and special groups of patients, such as women. In addition to individual skills and commitment, the methadone program staff needs to operate as a team.
