In cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Bureau of Narcotics has drafted regulations under which methadone maintenance programs may be conducted. These regulations have been published in the Federal Register. Methadone maintenance is used as a treatment method for heroin addicts. Methadone has many qualities which make it useful in treating addicts. Most important, is its capacity to block the effect of heroin and other opiates. If the addict takes a shot of heroin he feels nothing. An addict on methadone can function normally. He is as alert as anyone who is drug free. He can hold a job, support his family, in every way live a normal life.
