Abstract	The need to support the success of individuals in methadone-assisted recovery, and the recent availability of new pharmacologic treatment options for opioid dependence, calls for an information tool that underscores the evidence-based benefits of medication assisted treatment for opioid dependence. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), produced this education kit in collaboration with a host of opioid dependence treatment professional, service providers, and individuals in recovery from opioid dependence. This tool addresses key questions related to new and existing opioid dependency medications and the new roles for opioid dependence service delivery systems. The materials included here can be used by local alcohol and drug treatment providers to broaden the knowledge base about methadone and other medication-related options for the treatment of opioid dependence. This education kit also includes information on how to best approach and sustain an ongoing dialogue with key community stakeholders about the establishment, expansion, or sustainability of community-based treatment programs that use medication-supported treatment options. Most importantly, this kit contains key suggestions as to how to develop a coordinated community education effort aimed at reducing the stigma associated with opioid dependence and its service delivery systems.
