Two New Drugs Aid Heroin Users Trying To Kick Habit
Two drugs show promise for heroin addicts seeking cessation. Methadone, a narcotic substitute, and cyclazocine, nonnarcotic, work differently across addict types. A group led by Drs. Resnick, Fink, and Freedman reported in Miami Beach that methadone aids those with anger and work issues, while cyclazocine helps socially driven users. Couples involvement improved adherence, boosting stay-off rates about tenfold for men with wives or steady partners.
