Maintenance or
substitution treatment
for Opioid dependence
Outpatient treatment
Begin low and review frequently
10 20mg; + 10mg on review 4-6 h later; never greater than
30mg on day 1
Dose accumulates - only increase after 3- 4 days; max of 50mg
in first week
If not responding, increase monitoring, assess for other psych
problems
Gradual increase if need be by < 10mg per week. Most effective if
maintenance >80mg (range 60-120mg usu)
Level one evidence for efficacy: 50-75% heroin dependent are
retained in treatment at 12 months, half have ceased heroin
