Question

select the correct answer
a person addicted to heroin went through the following treatment to stop his drug abuse: a doctor gradually replaced his daily heroin dosage with the legal drug methadone.
what kind of treatment is this?
a. detoxification
b. supervised medication
c. therapeutic community

Explanation:

Detoxification involves removing toxins from the body. In this case, replacing heroin with methadone (a legal drug) is a form of supervised medication as it is a medical - based approach under a doctor's supervision. A therapeutic community is more about a social and communal support - based treatment environment rather than a drug - replacement under medical supervision.

Answer:

B. supervised medication
