Illicit drug use has become popular in China. Acknowledging the challenge of illicit drug use, China has adopted several new policies on the management of illicit drug use in recent years. This study reviews the current policies on drug use and assesses the harm reduction interventions among drug users in China. The review documents that the new policies on drug use provide a variety of choices of detoxification treatment for drug users. The methadone maintenance treatment and needle exchange programs have been adopted as harm reduction models in China. Most of the reviewed harm reduction programs have been successfully implemented and yielded positive effects in reducing drug related risk behaviors among drug users. Although there remain barriers to the effective implementation of policies on drug use and harm reduction programs, Chinese government has shown their commitment to support the expansion of harm reduction interventions for drug users throughout the country.
在中国，非法药物使用已经变得流行起来。鉴于非法药物使用带来的挑战，中国近年来在非法药物使用管理方面采取了一些新政策。本研究回顾了中国目前的药物使用政策，并评估了中国药物使用者中减少伤害的干预措施。审查文件表明，新的药物使用政策为药物使用者提供了多种戒毒治疗选择。美沙酮维持治疗和针具交换方案已被中国采用为减少伤害模式。审查中大多数减少伤害方案已成功实施，并在减少药物使用者与药物相关的危险行为方面产生了积极影响。尽管在有效实施药物使用政策和减少伤害方案方面仍然存在障碍，但中国政府已表示承诺支持在全国范围内扩大对药物使用者的减少伤害干预措施。
