Experts seek more freedom to treat heroin addiction
A Bethesda panel argues methadone can control heroin addiction but federal controls limit its use. Dr. Lewis L. Judd of UC San Diego, chairing a 12 member NIH committee, says regulations drive doctors away and that heroin addiction is a medical problem that can be cured or controlled with proper medical treatment including methadone. The NIH report backs an earlier call by Barry McCaffrey for greater physician control of dosing and distribution.
