  • Title: Problems of methadone diversion and implications for control.
    Author: Resnick RB.
    Journal: Int J Addict; 1977 Oct; 12(7):803-6. PubMed ID: 591140.
    Abstract:
    With the expansion of methadone maintenance there has been an increase in accidental ingestion and related deaths. This is at least partially due to programs involving take-home methadone. The use of 1-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM), a congener of methadone that suppresses withdrawal for up to 72 hours, may reduce diversion and accidental overdose.
