Possible Error in Introduction

The second paragraph of the introduction states the following concerning partial opioid antagonists: "As they induce opioid withdrawal effects in people who are taking, or have recently used, opioid full antagonists, these drugs are considered to be antagonists for practical purposes."

I believe that is meant to read as: "As they induce opioid withdrawal effects in people who are taking, or have recently used, opioid full agonists, these drugs are considered to be antagonists for practical purposes."

I do not see how taking a partial agonist could produce withdrawal from opioid antagonists but it obviously does result in withdrawal from opioid agonists. Should I correct this or am I misunderstanding something here?

- I have edited the page to read as above, if I've misunderstood the statement, please revert it to the original text -
