The
recently published guidelines on clinical management of drug abuse make
interesting reading.
In
particular there is a suggestion that serum methadone monitoring may be of
practical use in the care of problem drug users being treated with methadone
maintenance therapy (pages 54 and 56). Does anyone outside Leeds or even in
Leeds really do this for real. I would be happy to set it up but there is no
demand from clinicians.
For a
wonderful example of the iron hand in the velvet glove of clinical governance
read page XV.
