LAAM
addiction is caused by long term intake of
LAAM. Levomethadyl Acetate Hydrochloride,
also known as Levo-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM),
or Levacetylmethadol (LAM) is an oral narcotic
analgesic used to treat opiate dependencies.
Similar to methadone, it is a synthetic opiate
used as a replacement therapy for illegal
heroin use. It does not cure heroin dependency,
but it does help prevent withdrawal symptoms
when the patient stops using heroin. As a
maintenance drug, LAAM binds to pain receptors
in the brain which may decrease the patient's
cravings for other street drugs and reduce
withdrawal symptoms.
LAAM
is marketed under the brand name ORLAAM ® and is only available
in government-approved drug treatment clinics.
Unlike methadone, LAAM does not need to be
taken every day. Levomethadyl acetate LAAM
