Résumé : |
The use of substitution drugs for the treatment of opioid dependence represents a key evidence-based response to heroin problems in Europe. However, the diversion of these medicines from their intended use in drug treatment to non-medical use and sale on illicit drug markets is a cause for concern. The use of diverted substances has been associated with fatal and non-fatal overdose and an increased incidence of opioid dependence. This analysis summarises the context of opioid substitution treatment in Europe, what diversion is and what current measures are being implemented to reduce it, and considers the implications for the future.
Part of the 'Perspectives on Drugs' (PODs) series, launched as part of the European drug report package, these designed-for-the-web interactive analyses provide deeper insights into a selection of important issues. This POD is based on a forthcoming EMCDDA report on strategies to prevent opioid medication diversion in Europe. |
