New Clinical Guidelines
Updated - Drug Misuse and Dependence: UK Guidelines on Clinical Management
The National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse (NTA) on behalf of the Department of Health and devolved administrations recently published an updated version of Drug Misuse and Dependence: UK Guidelines on Clinical Management (28/9/07). This is a new version of the 1999 Clinical Guidelines, commonly called the “Orange Book”. The new Clinical Guidelines build on the previous evidence-based and well-established Clinical Guidelines but reflect some of the considerable changes that have occurred in drug treatment over the past eight years. The latest Clinical Guidelines also reflects the recent suite of guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Hard copies will be available late October 2007.
