| dc.description.abstract | The current standard for clinical treatment of dependence on heroin and other opioids is to maintain the dependence with slower-acting opioids like methadone or buprenorphine. Breaking patients’ physical dependence on opioids is considered dangerous due to detoxified users’ high risk of relapse and overdose.
Recently, a new treatment for opioid dependence has become available for research in humans: sustained release formulations of the opioid-blocking medication naltrexone (SRX). How effective, safe, and practically feasible SRX is in clinical settings is not yet clear.
The research project presented herein consisted of a systematic review of the knowledge on SRX treatment, a randomized controlled trial of SRX in an ordinary clinical setting, a study of heroin use among SRX patients, and an investigation of dropout/retention in patients treated with implantable SRX.
In addition, this thesis contains a general introduction and an evaluation of the contribution of the above project to clinical SRX research. | eng |
