As a follow-up to last week’s discussion question regarding the Needle Exchange program, I want you to look into another community resource related to addiction.

Your task is to review literature related to Methadone Maintenance programs for opioid addiction and answer the questions posed. You may use the internet, library, peer reviewed literature, brochures, contact methadone maintenance programs, or use other resources.

You MUST cite your sources. For example, if you are going to discuss rates of HIV, relapse, etc., you must indicate where you got the information from. If your discussion does not include a reference as to where you found the information, credit will not be awarded. Also, keep in mind that failure to properly reference information can result in a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy.

Please discuss the following, and number each response.

1. What is the purpose of Methadone Maintenance programs?

2. What are three arguments in favor of Methadone Maintenance

programs?

3. What are three arguments against Methadone Maintenance

programs?

4. After looking at both sides of the issue, would you support

referring a client to a Methadone Maintenance clinic for treatment

of an opioid addiction if he or she met the appropriate criteria and

level of care? Support your stance.

5. If you had a client who was an IV heroin user, which form of

treatment would you feel more comfortable referring him or her

to – a Needle Exchange program or a Methadone Maintenance

program?
