The Risk from Illicit Drug Use in Needle Sharing

 

Harm reduction is a strategy aimed at reducing the negative consequences of drug use in order to make it safer rather than preventing or discouraging drug use and the contemporary examples include needle exchange programs for safe injection teaching. While many would view the ongoing use of drugs in any capacity distasteful, nonjudgmental approach to drug use may lead to gradual progress to abstinence integrated into the health care system where a therapeutic relationship can be built. Attempting to force a patient into an abstinence or medication assisted treatment program before they are ready risks losing trust with the patient. Perhaps losing contact until some catastrophic consequence of drug use has occurred with much data suggested harm reduction is effective on medication assisted treatment is technically a form of harm reduction. The purposes will focus on injection hygiene teaching in safe injection as supervised injection site and needle exchange programs. A randomized controlled intervention to teach for Addiction Services Brisbane on needle hygiene and safe injection practices found large reductions in unsafe practices and a lower risk of bacterial skin infections in those who underwent the intervention.

 

The needle exchange programs allow return of used needles in exchange for new needles and this theory reduces the risk of infectious complications such as human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis virus, endocarditis and other bacterial infections. Safe injection sites allow patients to safely and hygienically inject in the presence of Addiction Services Brisbane instead of in public or in other sites designated for intravenous drug use. Both of which increased risk of infection have documented the safety and effectiveness of needle exchange programs and safe injection sites documenting decreased rates of overdose, reuse and sharing of needles. The public use or discarding of needle exchange programs are have become more commonplace have passed laws allowing needle or syringe exchange programs to be successful. The concept of needle exchange on Addiction Services Brisbane must be generally accepted and law enforcement to be cooperative if the law stakes out the needle exchange sites and use them as an amazing chance to effortlessly capture drug clients. The needle exchange programs cannot serve its intended purpose and the safe injection sites are fundamentally different that they are not just providing equipment but actually a location for illicit drug use to occur.

 

Safe injection Addiction Services Brisbane have been used successful for years but some others are currently illegal, harm reduction programs are consistent with the principles of autonomy and nonmaleficence. The choice of the user to continue drug use is respected and the risk of harm reduced to the principle of beneficence may be violated in the sense that continued intravenous drug abusers is a self-harming behavior. The contrary harm reduction therapies may lead to participation in medication assisted treatment or abstinence therapy which would be of great benefit. To balance harm reduction programs seems mostly beneficial legally to justice violated in condoning and facilitating the use of illegal drug because drug users are still being pursued and prosecuted in many jurisdictions. Furthermore, harm reduction programs for Addiction Services may sustain contact with health professionals and build rapport which may lead to cessation of illegal drug use. Ethically the programs are consistent with the principle as they exist not for the sake of the drug use but for the safety of the user, who is respected similarly with every one of the individuals who look to work on their wellbeing.
