Résumé : | This paper looks at changing approaches to the drug problem in Iran where there is growing recognition of the limits of an enforcement driven approach, and the importance of the medical and social dimensions of drug misuse. This has resulted in improvements in drug treatment and expansion of harm reduction services including: HIV prevention, substitution treatment, outreach, and the development of treatment and infection prevention services for drug users in prison. It is encouraging that in Iran such challenges are being confronted directly and that the Islamic Republic of Iran has followed broadly the same course as secular governments elsewhere in the world, despite the cultural differences. As in other parts of the world, the urgent need to do something about the spread of HIV/AIDs is helping to overcome ideological barriers to harm reduction work. (Editor' s abstract) |
