    Methadone

    German scientists Max Bockmühl and Gustav Ehrhart first synthesized methadone in 1937. The synthetic opioid analgesic was created while they were searching for a pain reliever that would be safe to use during surgeries and had a low potential for addiction. On September 11, 1941, they filed for a patent for what they called Hoechst 10820 or Polamidon. Eli Lilly and Company brought methadone to the United Stated in 1947. They gave it the trade name Dolophine, which came from the German Dolphium, which came from the Latin "dolor" for pain (Wikipedia).…

    Intervention, Treatment, and Relapse Prevention

    This writer interviewed and researched the Aegis Medical Systems located at 103 Modesto Avenue in Modesto, California; however there are many Aegis Medical Systems treatment centers throughout California. All Aegis Medical System treatment centers follow the same practicum. These centers offer outpatient treatment with three different treatment options. The three treatment options differ in the length in which the person receives drug-replacement therapy. These treatment options include “a short-term detox program, lasting 21 days; a long-term detox program, lasting up to 180 days; as well as a maintenance program” (Aegis Medical Systems, INC., 2012). Each of these treatments consists of an induction period and a tapering period with the replacement drug methadone. The client is slowly given methadone, which is called the induction period. The dosage of methadone increases until the symptoms of addiction and withdrawal no longer hinder the client’s efforts towards fighting their addiction. This writer was told that this drug-replacement therapy does not stop all the symptoms, just lessens the symptoms from being so overwhelming that the client can not focus (personal communication, September 5, 2012).…
