Résumé :
Although injectable methadone is prescribed for maintenance treatment to opioid addicts, this has not so far been systematically evaluated. Neither is there consensus on its effectiveness or any clear guidance on prescribing. In this paper, we offer a synthesis of the evidence base for injectable methadone treatment in opioid addiction and also discuss the theoretical and practical aspects of prescribing it in opioid dependence.
