Involuntary drug treatment (IDT) is ineffective in decreasing drug use, yet it is a common practice. In Mexico, there are not enough professional residential drug treatment programs, and both voluntary and involuntary drug treatment is often provided by non-evidence based, non-professional programs. We studied the experiences of people who inject drugs (PWID) in Tijuana who were taken involuntarily to drug centers under the auspices of a federally funded police operation. We provide insight into how the health, wellbeing, human rights, dignity, and security of PWID ought to be at the center of international drug policies included in universal health care systems.
强制性药物治疗(IDT)在减少药物使用方面无效,但却是一种常见的做法。在墨西哥,专业的住院药物治疗计划不足,自愿和强制性药物治疗往往由非循证、非专业的计划提供。我们研究了在蒂华纳注射毒品的人(PWID)的经历,他们是在联邦资助的警察行动的支持下被强制送往毒品中心的。我们深入了解了 PWID 的健康、福祉、人权、尊严和安全应该成为包括全民健康保险系统在内的国际毒品政策的核心。
