Confessions Of A Methadone Nurse 2nd Edition

I bought this book bc I thought it was going to be specific stories & experiences of a nurse who worked at a methadone clinic. Instead it was more of an overview of methadone, how it works, how it is dispensed at the clinic, clinic protocol, and addict behavior. I would recommend this book to family members of those who are attending or are going to attend a clinic as it explains how the nursing staff monitor your dose, how a dose works in your body(includes diagram), and how important it is to get up to the right dose. I have 5 stars bc even though it wasn't what I expected from reading the title, it was still very informative & well written.

Omg everyone needs 2 read this exceptional book! Especially if you or someone in your life is on methadone.

If you happen to be a methadone patient, then there are no secrets in this book. It is however a good book for anyone wanting to know different aspects of methadone.It's not actually a book but an 8 1/2 x 11 stapled booklet.It was overall a good read.

Very knowledgeable. I learned a lot reading this book. I had doubts about it. This book opened my eyes. Glad I read it.

Very disappointed in this book it was only a couple pages as I expected an actual book to read.

It's not what all methadone is about I should know I've been on methadone for 4 years now, plus a time before now, it's just on the outside of things....

I work at a methadone clinic, and I have to say, I learned something I didn't know, and some things in this book I see every day

There are no dark secrets to methadone treatment. It is one of the most heavily regulated medical treatments in the Uniteed States-and in other, more enlightened countries, the gold standard of treatment for chronic opiate addiction. I'm a nurse. But I am also a recovered junkie and methadone patient.If you want to learn about methadone, call a clinic and ask a professional willing to give you their name
