In commemoration of International Harm Reduction Day on May 7, head of the addiction authority, Christos Minas underlined the \u2018one stop\u2019 centre aims to reduce risks for individuals who are not yet ready to abstain from substance use.
\nThis approach, he stated, offers practical support for those still struggling with addiction, with additional services aimed at minimising associated negative consequences associated with use.
\nMinas did not specify where or when the centre would open.
\nMinas added that the authority\u2019s national strategy between 2021-2028 promotes and supports various harm reduction measures in Cyprus, such as the operation of the Direct Access and Harm Reduction Centre \u2018Stochos\u2019 in Nicosia as well as treatment programmes across the country and prisons. <\/strong>
\nPart of the strategy also includes administrating naloxone (an \u2018antidote\u2019 for opioids), and overdose prevention training.
\nAdditionally, the strategy includes the provision of rapid diagnostic tests for Hepatitis B, C, and HIV in treatment facilities, the promotion of harm reduction measures through the mobile unit \u2018Care Zone,\u2019 and initiatives to reduce road accidents caused by driving under the influence of legal and illegal substances.
\nIt is undeniable, says Minas, that harm reduction works, is cost-effective and can be successfully applied to a variety of interventions. Therefore, he adds, the Cyprus Addiction Treatment Authority will continue to invest in this direction as well, with the aim of providing comprehensive protection for all citizens directly and indirectly affected by the phenomenon of addiction.
\nMay 7 has been designated as International Harm Reduction Day, highlighting the importance of the philosophy of reducing the risks associated with substance use disorder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
