Title: | What you need to know: Addiction - Prescribing Naltrexone | Authors: | Yeo, B.K.L. | Issue Date: | Feb-1997 | Citation: | Yeo, B.K.L. (1997-02). What you need to know: Addiction - Prescribing Naltrexone. Singapore Medical Journal 38 (2) : 92-93. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Naltrexone is of proven efficacy as a treatment modality in the relapse preventive programme of opiate abusers. It complements the other interventions such as individual counselling, family therapy and self-help groups. The initiation of Naltrexone therapy after detoxification would be of vital importance in maintaining an individual's drug-free state. Naltrexone has no intrinsic opiate activity and has no resale value in the black market unlike methadone. | Source Title: | Singapore Medical Journal | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/134290 | ISSN: | 00375675 |
