In Amsterdam, a three-tiered program exists to deal with drug use and addiction. General practitioners form the backbone of the system, helping to deal with the majority of addicts, who are not criminals and many of whom desire to be free of addiction. Distinctions are made between drugs with "acceptable" and "unacceptable" risks, and between drug use and drug-related crime; patients who fall into the former categories are treated in a nonconfrontational, nonstigmatizing manner; such a system helps prevent the majority of patients from passing into unacceptable, criminalized categories. The overall program has demonstrated harm reduction both for patients and for the city of Amsterdam.
在阿姆斯特丹，有一个三层级的项目来应对吸毒和成瘾问题。全科医生是该系统的核心力量，他们帮助处理大多数成瘾者，这些成瘾者并非罪犯，而且他们中的许多人渴望戒除毒瘾。该项目对具有“可接受”和“不可接受”风险的毒品进行区分，同时也区分吸毒行为和与毒品相关的犯罪；属于前一类别的患者会以非对抗、无歧视的方式接受治疗；这样的系统有助于防止大多数患者沦为不可接受的、被定罪的类别。整个项目已证明对患者和阿姆斯特丹市都有减少危害的作用。
