		It relates to the desire for multi-cultural and for openness to the art and culture of all sectors of the pluralistic Israeli population, it also relates to the vision of fostering tolerance and artistic cultural attentiveness as a catalyst for fulfilment of the dream of peaceful coexistence.
		Omanut Laam's main accomplishments over the last year were concentrated in minimizing the existing gaps in the consumption of the art and culture between Tel Aviv and central area and the periphery, culture and art activities for the periphery which can be accessed by the entire population and all of its sectors.
		Omanut Laam exists in order to serve all citizens of the State in all of its sectors for whom Israeli art and culture are not accessible due to problems of distance from the central region and lack of financial ability to enjoy the artistic abundance in the center of the country.

	DEA Briefs & Background, Drugs and Drug Abuse, Drug Descriptions, LAAM
		Closely related to methadone, the synthetic compound levo alphacetylmethadol, or LAAM (ORLMM®), has an even longer duration of action (from 48 to 72 hours) than methadone, permitting a reduction in frequency of use.
		Both methadone and LAAM have high abuse potential.
		Their acceptability as narcotic treatment drugs is predicated upon their ability to substitute for heroin, the long duration of action, and their mode of oral administration.

	LAAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		LAAM is a white, crystalline, soluble, morphine-Tike compound, a central-nervous-system depressant being investigated, as a longer-lasting alternative to methadone currently the most widespread treatment for addiction.
		As it is taken' orally, LAAM eliminateand the dangerous side effects of needle use.
		Scientists believe infrequent cases of LAAM overdose may actually be due to multi-drug use.

	Barriers to Treatment for Drug Addiction
		LAAM was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 after an extensive research cycle that began with the 1968 discovery that the analgesic LAAM might be a potential treatment for heroin addiction.
		As LAAM was "off patent" for more than 20 years, no private sector entity attempted to develop LAAM when it was determined that additional clinical trials would be required.
		Also, to permit LAAM to be distributed to treatment programs, states first had to schedule or reschedule the medication into a Schedule II status, allowing use in existing treatment settings.

	New Drug Approval Approach Boosts Fight Against Heroin Addiction (November 1994)
		LAAM was approved July 20, 1993, only 18 days after FDA received the new drug application.
		Although LAAM had been studied for many years, it was sitting on a "back burner" at NIDA.
		Withdrawal from methadone or LAAM causes similar symptoms, but starts more slowly, is less severe, and continues for a longer time.

		Earlier tests of the medication, called LAAM (levomethadyl acetate hydrochloride), confirmed that it needs to be taken only three times a week.
		LAAM was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1993 for use in treating heroin addiction.
		He says the completion of this dose-comparison study of LAAM will allow doctors to base their dosing decisions on research data "and may help increase LAAM's therapeutic effectiveness." The researcher also notes that cocaine users in the study reduced their cocaine use by almost two-thirds.

	NCADI: LAAM in the Treatment of Opiate Addiction
		The SSA is responsible for ensuring that use of LAAM is approved, that all licensing and approval requirements are met, and that programs are in compliance with the laws of the State.
		With the current restrictions on LAAM, such as lack of take-home doses and restrictions on use in pregnant women, it is not possible to use the new medication to its greatest potential for patients' needs.
		It is hoped that the introduction of LAAM therapy will move the evaluation process toward an effective and clinically relevant one in which outcomes variables are based on patient achievements (and quality-of-life improvements as a result of the treatment process), not on the numbers of patients "successfully" discharged (McLellan and Durell, submitted for publication).

	HOMEWARD BOUND GENERAL ANSWERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		LAAM is a long-acting opioid agonist approved in 1993 by the FDA for the treatment of opioid dependence.This substance, like methadone, is a full mu-opioid agonist.
		For example, the high-dose LAAM group reported reduction in opiate use and craving, but was associated with higher agonist effects and a higher percentage dropout rate.
		The LAAM arm of this study demonstrated a significantly higher rate of continuous abstinence, again felt to be due to a more stable blood level with less "peak-to-trough" variation.

	AATOD: AATOD's Policies
		LAAM should not be continued in patients with confirmed QTc prolongation greater than 480 msec (milliseconds) without timely cardiologic consultation.
		LAAM is metabolized to active metabolites by the cytochrome P450 isoform, CYP3A4.
		All potential LAAM patients are to have medical histories updated with emphasis on a family history (of long QT syndrome, cardiac conduction defects, arrhythmias, syncopal attacks, seizures, and sudden or unexpected death); and personal history (of long QT syndrome, cardiac conduction defects, arrhythmias, syncopal attacks, seizures, palpitations, dizziness, and light-headedness).

	LAAM Detox - LAAM Addiction
		LAAM detox is treatment for addiction to an oral narcotic analgesic, Levomethadyl Acetate Hydrochloride, also known as Levo-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM), or Levacetylmethadol (LAM), used to treat opiate dependencies.
		LAAM detox can be difficult because there are both mental and physical aspects of opiate addiction.
		LAAM addiction is, in a sense, a traditional method of treatment for opiate addiction gone awry.

		LAAM (levo-alpha-acetylmethadol) is a synthetic opioid analgesic marketed under the trade name Orlaam by Roxane Laboratories for the treatment of opioid dependence.
		Their calculations estimated the percentage of patients that were suitable for LAAM and the percentage of those that would switch from methadone to LAAM.
		The marketing of LAAM has been directed exclusively to state approved public programs and to programs within the VA. The pharmaceutical companies have not directed their marketing energies toward private clinics because there is little data available on the number of private clinics and the number of patients receiving treatment.

		Pharmacology and side effects of methadone, LAAM, heroin and other opioids are similar, except that methadone and LAAM are taken by mouth, are absorbed slowly and last much longer than injected heroin or pain pills.
		Heroin, methadone, LAAM and other opiates and opioids (synthetic narcotics) lead to the same physiological opioid dependence; however, there is essentially no psychological addiction to methadone and LAAM while heroin is extremely addicting.
		Methadone and LAAM help clients in their treatment of psychological problems but they are not a permanent cure.

	Harm Reduction Communication--Fall '97
		I first came to LAAM treatment about one-and-a-half years ago through a research study that was being conducted in Los Angeles where I live.
		The only reason I agreed to begin LAAM maintenance treatment was because it was free; otherwise I don't think I ever would have agreed to it.
		Because clients are medicated only three times a week, LAAM can be especially useful to those individuals who cannot or will not give clean urine samples for their monthly, random tests, which I find to be the majority of patients.

	ScienceDaily: Hopkins Study Shows Languishing Addictions Drug Really Works
		LAAM isn't widely used, because of both uncertainties about how effective it is in the first stages of addiction treatment and doubts that it would be accepted by addicts.
		LAAM works on the tiny receptors in the membranes of nerve cells in the brain.
		But because LAAM remains there for a relatively long time, it blocks receptor access for other opioid drugs: addicts take heroin, for example, and it has none of its usual effects.

	High success rates for variety of heroin addiction treatment medications
		LAAM and methadone are available for clinicians to prescribe.
		LAAM produced the longest duration of continuous abstinence; buprenorphine was similar to LAAM in terms of retention in the study and to high-dose methadone in terms of abstinence.
		Patients in the LAAM and buprenorphine groups were given these drugs three times a week, and patients in both methadone groups received daily doses.

		In addition to the difference in dosing schedule, no take-home doses of LAAM are permitted under Federal regulations, and women of child-bearing potential must be tested monthly for pregnancy.
		As LAAM is introduced, programs will be a source of important data about its use, and the TIP presents suggestions for research in several areas.
