〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋2014年談毒品的文章近日遭藍營翻出,被藍營質疑其反毒立場。台北市長蔣萬安昨晚強調「反毒沒有模糊空間」,兩方交鋒,引發社會關注。台北市立聯合醫院昆明防治中心、林森中醫昆明院區精神科醫師陳裕雄在台灣科技媒體中心(SMC)上表示,台灣自2005年推動減害計畫後,注射藥物相關的HIV疫情明顯下降,降幅超過99%,沈伯洋原文重視使用者的社會處境與協助需求,具有值得討論的公共衛生意義。
陳裕雄表示,美沙冬是治療鴉片類使用障礙(opioid use disorder)的長效鴉片類促效藥物。維持治療不只是短期緩解戒斷,更能減少渴癮與非法鴉片類使用、降低死亡風險,協助個案穩定生活。清潔針具則是另一項減害措施,用於降低共用針具造成的HIV與病毒性肝炎(B、C肝等)感染;提供針具不等於提供毒品,也不等於允許現場施打。研究並未顯示完整的針具服務會增加非法藥物使用或犯罪。
他提到,台灣自2005年推動減害計畫後,注射藥物相關的HIV疫情明顯下降,降幅超過99%,台北市也已有清潔針具服務。沈伯洋原文重視使用者的社會處境與協助需求,具有值得討論的公共衛生意義;其中提及的國外物質提供措施,則應依適用對象、醫療監督與法規分別說明,並不直接等同於全面合法化。
他認為,保護校園與社區、查緝非法供應及支持減害治療,可以並行。政治人物可以檢視政策,但應避免將治療與感染預防描述成鼓勵吸毒,讓病人更不敢求助。成癮者也是社區成員,不應成為政治攻防下失去醫療協助的人。
什麼是減害?國立陽明交通大學公共衛生研究所教授陳娟瑜在台灣科技媒體中心(SMC)上表示,減害(harm reduction)是以實證措施降低毒品使用對個人、家庭與社區的健康及社會傷害。即使尚未停止使用,仍可透過清潔針具、治療、感染篩檢及過量預防降低風險。對第一線,減害是建立信任、了解需求及評估改變準備的起點;對當事人,不必先戒除才能獲得照顧,服務也應回應心理、經濟與照顧壓力。
