Patient Support Community and Education Project Meeting

Sunday, October 17, 2004 Special Meeting

In September 2000, the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment brought together the leading national patient support and education organizations for a 2 day meeting to discuss the escalation of opioid dependency and the stigma associated with its related medication assisted treatments. Through this effort, the Methadone Patient Support and Community Methadone Education Project was formed. The goal of the Project is to address the need for patient support and family education regarding the disease of opioid addiction and the highly effective medication assisted treatments like methadone and LAAM.
