Guidelines for the psychosocially assisted pharmacological treatment of opioid dependence

Description:

These guidelines review the use of medicines such as methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone and clonidine in combination with psychosocial support in the treatment of people dependent on heroin or other opioids. Based on systematic reviews of the literature and using the GRADE approach to determining evidence quality, the guidelines contain specific recommendations on the range of issues faced in organizing treatment systems, managing treatment programs and in treating people dependent on opioids.--Publisher's description.
