DENMARK PLANS TREATMENT WITH INJECTABLE HEROIN:

October 22nd, 2007 | Category: Opiate Addiction

We’ll see. that means there is now a parliamentary majority
for introduction of heroin treatment. We have been warned:caveat lector, reader beware! Ultimate approval and implementation is far from assured, and some observors closer to the scene remain pessimistic. In a striking reversal of its long-standing opposition, the “Volkspartei” (People’s Party) of Denmark has

expressed its support for providing long-term opiate dependent individuals with heroin. The above is the headline of an write-up in the Karlsruhe Nachrichten, 15 Oct. The goal, according to a spokesperson: to enable addicts to have at least a “halfway normal life”.

At least, that’s the story.
