Physicians may be able to prescribe appropriate doses of methadone based on personalized genetic observation

Researchers have found a genetic variant associated with opioid addiction in African Americans, which indicates that physicians may be able to prescribe appropriate doses of methadone based on personalized genetic observation. Our staff here at Two Dreams is excited to hear this news, as we believe that the best outcomes in addiction treatment stem from creating a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
