Résumé :
Drug users in many Dutch cities are no longer condemned to use their drugs in abandoned alleys, dark doorways or the toilets of drop-in centers. In recent years, special drug consumption facilities have been created where hard-drug users can administer their drugs in relative peace and quiet. In about ten Dutch cities more than 20 drug consumption facilities are operating, amongst others Amsterdam, Apeldoorn, Utrecht, Den Bosch, Groningen en Maastricht. Other cities, including The Hague, Nijmegen and Alkmaar, are keenly debating whether to open such venues in their cities. (Extract of the publication.)
