Syringe access programs operate with the primary goal of providing injection drug users with new, sterile injection equipment as a means of reducing the spread of blood-borne viruses and other injection-related infections. In addition, there has traditionally been an emphasis placed on simultaneously removing used injection equipment from circulation through a process of exchanging old syringes for new ones. 8, record 3, English, - used%20drug%20injection%20paraphernalia

El tratamiento de sustitución a la metadona es un ejemplo de la utilización de unadroga para llegar poco a poco a reducir o parar el consumo de droga: la sustitución de heroína por metadona con carácter médico resultó muy eficaz para ayudar a los consumidores de heroína a suprimir su dependencia, reduciendo al mismo tiempo los daños causados a ellos mismos y a la sociedad. El tratamiento de sustitución implica la prescripción y la administración controlada de sustancias como la metadona y la buprenorfina. Estas sustancias pueden utilizarse para remplazar la heroína porque actúan sobre la necesidad de droga del sistemanervioso, y eliminan la necesidad de opiáceos como la heroína. 1, record 5, Spanish, - tratamiento%20de%20sustituci%C3%B3n
