medication-assisted treatment is a good approach
In my view, medication-assisted treatment is a good approach and should be put into practice. They are helpful approaches because the drugs that are used, for example, methadone and buprenorphine, easily trick the brains of the individuals in question to think they are abusing illicit drugs. Hence, the possibility of them resisting reduces, and they are likely to cooperate to consume them than when they see common medicine, which they already know is meant to reduce their illicit drug dependence. We should be offering people who are opiate dependent such substitution treatment so that it can help them abstain from abusing illicit opioids, which have diverse repercussions on a user’s health. Once the health of an individual is at stake, their life cannot be any better. These treatments are useful because they are used in combination with behavioral therapies and counseling. All these are important as they contribute to making one become a whole individual again in all dimensions; physically and mentally, among others.
I think the approach of safe injection sites will reduce problems related to injection drug use. This is because, as the name suggests, they will be safe sites, and they will be under supervision. The supervision will ensure that hygienic use of equipment responsible for injecting. The safety will also ensure that these tools are used properly, which will aid in avoiding the occurrence of any likely adverse impact. The medical staff in these sites give treatment for addiction, and there are no drugs supplied from these sites, for example, the site in North America. Treating addiction means will decrease problems like withdrawal and hallucinations that come about from individuals injecting themselves with drugs like heroin. These sites will be of help to the life of an individual who uses drugs.
