The use of the synthetic opiate methadone on a continuing maintenance scheduled is unquestionably the most successful and most widely applicable treatment for the control of opiate dependence. Though the medical aspects of the treatment are simple, the nature of the medication and the nature of the problems of opiate dependence are such that administration of a program requires careful attention. Because the problem is so serious both to society and the addict, it is urgent that we develop and adequate number of well run methadone programs throughout the state and the nation.
按照持续维持计划使用合成阿片类药物美沙酮无疑是控制阿片类药物依赖最成功且应用最广泛的治疗方法。尽管该治疗的医学方面很简单，但药物的性质以及阿片类药物依赖问题的性质决定了实施一个项目需要仔细关注。由于这个问题对社会和成瘾者都非常严重，我们迫切需要在全州乃至全国范围内建立足够数量且运作良好的美沙酮项目。
