AVERSION THERAPY FOR HEROIN DEPENDENCE
The Lancet, 1968Abstract Suxamethonium chloride (' Scoline ') has been used to produce aversion to the process of preparing for self-injection of heroin. The instruction for self-injection is timed to coincide with the onset of paralysis induced by 30 mg. scoline, and the process is repeated for 5 consecutive days.

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1968
Naloxone is a potent and rapidly acting narcotic antagonist, with a duration of action which is shorter (3 to 4 hours) than that of heroin. In a clinical trial of naloxone in the treatment of heroin dependence, a daily oral dose of 100 mg. at 8 A.M. and 7 P.M. effectively blockaded 20 mg.

The Socioeconomics of Heroin Dependency
New England Journal of Medicine, 1972Abstract The present production and sale of heroin is an enterprise with gross profits that rivals many industries. Ten kilograms of opium grown in Asia and sold at $25 per kilogram will produce 1 kg of uncut heroin worth $20,000 in the United States. The ultimate aggregate worth of the same kilogram of heroin may be as much as $400,000.

Buprenorphine and Naloxone for Heroin Dependence
Current Psychiatry Reports, 2000The pharmacology of buprenorphine is unique because of its partial agonist profile at the mu-opioid receptor (ie, high affinity, low intrinsic activity and slow dissociation). This unique profile results in greater safety, less physical dependence, and greater flexibility in dose scheduling.
