Answer to Question 1

D
Buprenorphine is used both for detoxification and withdrawal and has been approved for outpatient management of addictions. It is classified as a Schedule III narcotic and as such, can be prescribed by physicians in ordinary practice. There is insufficient evidence, at this time, to determine whether buprenorphine has any advantages over methadone.

Answer to Question 2

B
Personality disorders generally lead to distress. They are pervasive and inflexible, have their onset in adolescence or early adulthood, and are stable over time. Personality disorders do not resolve in midlife.
