  • Title: Detoxification from heroin using self vs physician regulation of methadone dose.
    Author: Fulwiler RL, Hargreaves WA, Bortman RA.
    Journal: Int J Addict; 1979 Feb; 14(2):289-98. PubMed ID: 447434.
    Abstract:
    Self-regulation of methadone dose during detoxification was compared to a fixed dose schedule. Self-regulators tended to maintain themselves on a stable methadone dose until forced to detoxify, but used less heroin and remained in treatment longer than the control group. The results suggest that a longer initial period of methadone stabilization may be useful in enabling addicts to detoxify successfully.
