Question by sweetpotato: resources for Methadone/ Opiate Replacement Therapy debate?
Hello. I am writing a research paper about the debate about opiate replacement therapy vs. abstinence of drugs to treat addiction. Basically, the question is whether or not someone is really clean if they are receiving medication to help them ease of illegal drugs. I am having trouble finding scholarly journals or articles about this subject. I am trying to find a very reliable, well-researched source, possibly with studies included. Any help in finding one would be appreciated.

Thanks!
