Methadone Maintenance:
A Counsellor's Guide to Treatment
Forthcoming
Methadone Maintenance: A Counsellor's Guide to Treatment outlines and describes
information, concepts and strategies that distinguish methadone maintenance treatment
(MMT) as an area of specialization within substance use counselling.
This guide discusses the historical development of MMT and the role of counselling
within this treatment approach, summarizes the advantages and limitations of MMT,
orients the reader to best practices in MMT counselling and describes the effects,
side-effects and myths of methadone. It will be an invaluable resource for counsellors
who have a background in substance use counselling but are relatively new to counselling
clients in MMT. The discussion of concepts and practices in this guide will help
experienced MMT counsellors consolidate their own thinking, or, alternatively, will
challenge them to rethink some of their assumptions about counselling MMT clients.
Examples of case studies illustrate the details of clinical practice.

Methadone Maintenance Guidelines
2001
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, Centre for Addiction and Mental
Health and the Ontario College of Pharmacists
When prescribing methadone in the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence,
it is important to have guidelines to follow. In Canada, each province regulates
methadone maintenance treatment and, therefore, treatment guidelines may vary between
provinces.
Methadone Maintenance Guidelines reflects the general standard of methadone
prescribing practice in Ontario today. These guidelines replace the old Methadone
Treatment Guidelines published in Ontario in 1996.
