016.04.2-I. INTRODUCTION
Currentness
The Arkansas Department of Health/Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention (ADAP) has developed standards for the administration of Methadone/Levomethadyl Acetate Hydrochloride (LAAM) Maintenance Treatment Programs (MMTP) in Arkansas.
The goal of methadone/LAAM treatment is total rehabilitation of the patient. While eventual withdrawal from the use of drugs, including methadone/LAAM, may be an appropriate treatment goal, some patients may remain on methadone/LAAM maintenance for relatively long periods of time. Periodic consideration of withdrawing from methadone/LAAM maintenance is appropriate only if it is in the individual patient's interest. Such considerations are between the patient and the treatment facility.
The program shall be progressive in nature, addressing the patient's individual need with methadone/LAAM as only one component of comprehensive treatment services.
Current with amendments received through February 15, 2024. Some sections may be more current, see credit for details.
