Subject: Counter-ions on AMBER calculations

Can anyone tell me about simulation of counter-ions upon oligonucleotide
backbones, employing any model such as Condensation Theory to avoid the
use of explicit sodium, potassium or magnesium atoms  in AMBER force field
calculations?
I'm interessed in setting any correction on the distance-dependent
dieletric constant present in the coulombic term of AMBER forcefield wich
includes charged atoms in the enviroment.
Best regards,
