'I went for rehab many times and it never worked, but the harm reduction process has given me renewed hope'. Perceptions on the effectiveness of harm reduction and community-based opioid substitution therapy

CONCLUSIONS: There is a lack of multi-level and multi-sectoral engagement of various stakeholders in opioid dependence services, needed to accelerate utilisation of OST services. SO WHAT?: The research unpacks the need for an integrated approach to service use optimisation, and the need to evaluate the role that increased awareness and community education on harm reduction strategies can play in enhancing the utilisation of OST services.PMID:37605794 | DOI:10.1002/hpja.789
