Germany: Heroin OK For Clinical Treatment of Addicts
http://pr.cannazine.co.uk : A vote in the German Bundestag yesterday, passed by a margin of 349 to 198, the use of heroin as a medical instrument in the treatment of long term addicts. A practice seen by many as the ultimate harm reduction measure for heroin addicts.
To qualify for this ground-breaking treatment the addict must be over 25 years of age, a registered addict for at least 5 years, and he or she must also have tried and failed at least 2 other common addiction treatments.
These may include methadone and buprenorphine.
A cross-party group of supporters says pilot programs in seven German cities found that controlled prescription of synthetic heroin, or diamorphine, at approved facilities helped addicts who failed to respond to treatment with methadone.
Neighboring Switzerland has long had similar programs. They have been credited with reducing drug-related crime and improving addicts' health, as has the 'shooting gallery'
scheme which operated in London recently, in which addicts were found to be over 70% less likely to commit crimes if they had a clean supply of clincal heroin as well as the necessary paraphernalia needed to ensure needle sharing doesn't take place.
The London scheme also had trained medical staff on site to advise addicts on the safest way to administer the diamorphine.
