近期美沙冬替代治療及清潔針具等政策引發討論。台南市長黃偉哲出席健康城市頒獎時表示,藥癮愛滋減害也是打造健康城市的重要一環;台南推動毒品減害與戒治工作逾20年,透過「依法查緝毒品」與「專業醫療戒癮」雙軌並進深獲肯定。
黃偉哲指出,台南早在2005年即開始推動「藥癮愛滋減害計畫」及美沙冬替代治療,並感謝前副縣長顏純左醫師及第一線公衛、醫療人員長期投入。統計顯示,台南因注射藥癮因素感染愛滋的人數,從2005年的135人,至2025年降為1人,20年間大幅下降,成績亮眼。
黃偉哲強調,必須依法嚴加查緝毒品犯罪行為;但對已陷入藥癮、願意接受治療的市民,也應透過醫療、社工及公衛體系提供協助。「對毒品零容忍、對戒癮者全力支持」不只圍堵毒品,也引導幫助願意戒癮的人回歸正軌。
衛生局長李翠鳳表示,美沙冬替代治療的核心,是同時兼顧「提升醫療可近性」與「嚴格藥品管理」。目前台南由嘉南療養院、奇美醫院、成大醫院、衛生福利部台南醫院等指定醫療院所提供替代治療服務,其中嘉南療養院服務個案數最多;目前台南共有11家指定藥癮戒治機構及6家維持治療給藥點,降低個案每日往返醫院的交通與時間負擔,減少中斷治療風險。
李翠鳳指出,美沙冬屬於管制藥品,從給藥、保管、庫存到藥物流向都有嚴格管理。2019年至今年9月,中央補助台南藥癮治療4884人次,市府另編列預算補助4258人次,合計超過9100人次。透過「指定醫療院所+衛星給藥點+個案輔導」的服務模式,讓戒癮者留在治療體系,降低個案中斷治療與復吸風險。
在健康城市頒獎儀式上,黃偉哲除了表揚市府團隊與社區團體在健康促進上的貢獻,也再次強調將持續結合教育防毒、醫療戒癮與治安查緝,打造無毒、安全且全人健康的宜居城市。
