A reduction of injections

Specialists found a solution to reduce the injections from people who suffer from drug addiction, they call it substitution therapy. That therapy can move drug users away from injecting drugs such as heroin to an oral administration of an opiate substitute. This substitution is not the best one but it is better than using heroin because to use syringe can be very dangerous of contracting HIV and other blood diseases.

  1. This seems like a great way to help those with heroin addictions. If the opiate can help the addict get off heroin then it really is an excellent means of treatment. Not only does it prevent the person in question from receiving blood diseases from the needles, but if they already had one, they also will no longer be spreading it. I'm sure this treatment also improves the quality of life of the addict since daily needle injections does not sound pleasant.
