The enthusiasm of BrSs‘Dole and Nyswander for their program is commendable, and your article reflects this very well.‘ Their greatest contribution may yet he, not in the development of this program alone, www. —.. via-Himmmr’a-wu/w'm . m war-acn— ' but in providing'atresearch climate‘for the development of other treat~ went methods of narcotic addicts. ,Up until a few years ago, controlled studies of narcotic eddiCtion were limited by special regulations. The change in climate, however, has lead to the evaluation of other agents which might be useful in the treatment of addiction and Imong these are the narcotic antagonists. Two such compounds, cyclazocine, produced by Sterling~Winthrop Laboratories and haloxone,'prodnced by Endo Laboratories. have re~ ceived very limited study. ‘But their initial evaluations demonstrate these compounds to be safe, easy to use and potent in preventing re“ _ addiction. Like methadone,'however, they will probably be mast useful' as "engagers" ~ agents that provide the basis for the re~education, retraining and resocializetion‘of_addictss' Among the problems in these studies is the high cost of the drhgs involved. A cost that must be borne_by the pharmaceutical concerns alone since public funds are not ordinarily available for such research endeavors. Perhaps. in your later reviews_you will be able to report on these methods as,ueil; encouraging both the public and scientist to explore‘other“nays to treat the addicts ways that may have fewerlimitations than.the present methadone maintenance model. — Sincerely yours, has Fink. ego. .
