In addition to the cxpcricntial anguments you present so well, we have been Your recent impressed with the pharmacologic argumenta which were sufficiently compelling for us to raconsider cur part in the proposal by the Vera Institute for‘a heroin delivery project. - "facts” do not know what the truth is about methafione ~ so many change as they are preaented by different advocates and -1 critics, but facts are clear patient populations requesting heapital care are sharply reduced (outpatient methadone is satis~« fying the demand), and the ready availability of methadone at $4—6 for 40 mg ”biscuits" in.flew York City and in Suffolk County. tWO Uur own — suggestion, should mothsdoae'delivcry continue to in the public intateat, is to replace it with levomethadyl. Jur experience is lufficiently favorable, for delivery 3 times a week, that it is a comprise that the govornmental health agencies are in~ listing on extenoivo additional animal testing so as to delay the use of lavcunthadyl - which seems more useful than heroin maintenance. I notgd with intgrcst yon: cautious sentence about the narcotic antagonists. be Again my congratulation: on an important contribution.
