Abstract
This paper reviews the potential problems of both private and publicly funded methadone maintenance programs for drug addicts (human), focusing on competition, vagueness of regulations, and lax enforcement of regulations. As a solution it proposes specific and detailed control of such programs which would guarantee that a given level of services would be offerred at all types of methadone programs.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
