  • Title: Clonidine hydrochloride detoxification from methadone treatment--the value of naltrexone aftercare.
    Author: Rawson RA, Washton AM, Resnick RB, Tennant FS.
    Journal: Adv Alcohol Subst Abuse; 1984; 3(3):41-9. PubMed ID: 6093484.
    Abstract:
    Treatment outcomes were compared for 2 groups of subjects detoxified from methadone using clonidine. One group of 12 subjects was encouraged to continue in treatment with naltrexone, while the other 12 subjects did not have naltrexone treatment available. Results suggested that those subjects who had naltrexone available were more successful at completing the 10 day detoxification treatment and that the relapse rate at 30 days post-treatment was significantly reduced by naltrexone treatment.
