Effectiveness Bank Matrix Cell: Getting the Balance Right in Medication-Based Treatment

Seminal and key studies on the role of management in medical interventions for drug dependence. Commentary considers how medication-based treatment can be (re)oriented to long-term recovery, the importance of the right dose, and whether we can dispense with all but minimal counselling/therapy and supervised consumption of medications like methadone.
