Winter 2008 AT Forum Newsletter (Vol. 17, #1)

After publishing 56 issues of AT Forum, we have redesigned the newsletter to make it more visually appealing and easier to read. We will strive to diversify our topics, keeping in mind the varied backgrounds of our 11,000-plus readers, among them patients, clinic staff members, researchers, key opinion leaders, and government officials.

Over the next few issues we will celebrate our 15th anniversary by reflecting on the past 40-plus years of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), current issues in MMT, and thoughts about the future of MMT as it evolves into broader Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs).
