Introduction
This is an online version of the 6th edition of the UK version of The Methadone Handbook, which is available free from many drug services in the UK. Copies of the handbook can be purchased directly from Exchange Supplies (click here).

The Australian edition is available from ADF.

The methadone handbook is written for people in the UK and contains useful information for anyone interested in methadone treatment - whether you are already in treatment, starting treatment or just finding out more about it.

Most of the information will apply if you live outside the UK, but the laws, formulations and the way drug services work may be different.

Wherever you live, a booklet, or website is no substitute for talking to an expert. If you can’t find the information you need, want to know more about something or have any questions or worries, your drug worker, doctor or pharmacist should be able to help.

There is an organisation of people on methadone, professionals and researchers set up to support people in treatment called the methadone alliance, who have a website at http://www.m-alliance.org.uk
