Principles and Practice of Methadone Treatment offers a comprehensive clinical and scientific overview of methadone maintenance therapy as a cornerstone of modern addiction medicine. Integrating pharmacology, psychiatry, and public health perspectives, the volume examines the role of opioid agonist treatment in stabilising patients, preventing relapse, and supporting long-term recovery.

Written by leading international experts, the book reflects decades of clinical experience and research, addressing diagnostic challenges, treatment individualisation, psychiatric comorbidity, and contemporary developments in opioid use disorder care.

Designed for psychiatrists, addiction specialists, clinicians, and researchers, this monograph provides an authoritative framework for understanding methadone treatment within a neurobiological and clinical perspective.
