Аннотация:
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the World Health Organization have developed these guidelines for drug dependence treatment as an alternative to criminal conviction or punishment. The publication is intended to serve as an introductory reference document describing the options available to States that comply with the international drug control conventions and other relevant international treaties. The focus is on practical information for policymakers, justice agencies, health professionals and practitioners so they can identify the extent of the problem in their community, the resources that can be used to address the problem, the gaps that need to be filled, and practical approaches. The objectives of the publication are to: provide relevant information on the causes and existence of a variety of treatment and care practices for people with substance use disorders who are in contact with the criminal justice system; help criminal justice actors understand how treatment works; help treatment subjects understand how criminal justice works.
