  • Title: Drug czar seeks new emphasis on methadone treatment.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 Oct 31; 12(20):7. PubMed ID: 11364789.
    Abstract:
    Barry McCaffrey, the White House drug policy director, called for improved methadone maintenance treatment programs for heroin addicts. McCaffrey referred to the incarceration of heroin addicts as a failed social policy. Speaking at a heroin addiction conference sponsored by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, McCaffrey told participants that heroin addicts who are not enrolled in methadone treatment programs are exposed to HIV infection through shared drug needles and unprotected sexual relations.
