"PWID"...is that all we are to you? A damn acronym? How about a multidisciplinary approach that starts with putting the USER at the CENTRE of THEIR RECOVERY? Why don't you carry out a case study into the Switzerland and Portuguese system? Instead of shoving methadone/subutex down the throats of addicted individuals so you can tick a box. Peer reviewed research has shown HAT to be more effective at achieving long-term abstinence (along with dealing with the Patient--not the "PWID" )- to obtain housing, access to other health centres etc. (not a HMO) "The Great Afghan bake off"--Opium is not even synthesised into Heroin until it reaches Iran/Turkey. Making a joke of it is just not appropriate. "Goodness knows what else is in it."--Why don't you offer drug testing services as is the case in the Netherlands. You lot make me sick. Highest drug death rate per capita in the western world for nearly a decade running. If you ran a private company with the lowest revenue per share for almost the last decade, would you still have a job? Drug Services in Scotland are hugely underfunded with rock bottom morale amongst staff that are overworked into burnout, with high attrition. The co sequence of this is that a patient isn't often afforded the chance to build a relationship with their worker as they are often gone within a year, compromising trust. I implore you to search on TH-cam for "The Streets"- these two guys have done more in little over one month to help drug users than the "SDF" and Scottish Government ever have. It's horrible to see you laugh through a presentation on such a serious subject, even if it is provoked by nervousness. "Allegedly, there are people in Dumfries and Galloway that use drugs." I know that was an attempt at humour, but it's an utter disgrace given the context. People have DIED for heavens sake! "Heroin's Heroin..." Well, unless you make it a pharmaceutical option as is the case in the Netherlands and Switzerland"

I was in Dublin 1990,s and wandered into a housing scheme on way back from being out with my husband and two sons. What drew me was an oil drum and fire burning and families They had reclaimed the street to protect kids from drug dealers and when they found someone dealing, they marched en mass to their homes and drove them out!!!!! It was amazing, so maybe same folk? 2024❤

I took heroin on and off for 2 years I was sent to prison they put me on methadone it took me 23 years to get away from this government curse.

The Scottish Government are perpetuating the continuation of Drug and Alcohol Addiction by the abysmal lack of funding in life saving treatment centres like Jericho House . The devastating consequences of addiction for families,communities,law enforcement, the NHS and local Services are enormous as is the loss of lives that could have been saved through rehabilitation into jobs and careers that would transform lives and help Society as a whole. The answer seems obvious..INVEST in subsidised rehabilitation = PROFIT from savings made in expenditure from Unemployment Benefit, Law Enforcement,NHS Services (all of which encompass a exhaustive list of individual Services that are already drained of financial and effective resources) I cannot see any reasonable or intellectual argument that could convince me that the lack of Government Funding for rehabilitation is ABHORRANT and Politically and Financially INCREDULOUS !!

Great advice

Alot of doctors wont prescribe valuim and pass the buck to someone else so they dont have to prescribe it and always say i carnt help you but you know they can to pick and choose who they treat is disgusting and to think doctors take a oath that means nothing to them ther a law unto themselves and have excuses for anything

Valium isn’t that strong though. Xanax is so much better. I’m on 1mg 2x a day.

I am working with Union County in Ohio(USA) and people are waking up finally that this has to be done. The Federal Government isn't going to help. I am trying to get MAT at the jail here and it's a fight but I have a lot of people on my side. This is the answer to the opioid crisis tbh if people would just look at the numbers and how effective HAT(and Dilaudid for that matter) really is. Judging by the current rate of addicts who are becoming addicted from the start and those who were successful in becoming clean for over a year, we need to have a treatment that is AT LEAST 60% effectiveness in order to get a grip on this Fentanyl black market. Suboxone is the next best treatment numbers wise(42%) and I suspect Sublocade will be a little higher once those numbers come out which helps but Suboxone isn't the greatest with pain and those who are facing diseases with a lot of pain find that Suboxone/Subutex doesn't work well in the long run. HAT is the future once people wake up but here in the USA, we can't even get our Methadone Clinics in order. Imagine dying of a terminal disease and you're 29 years old. You were on pain medication but were cut off so now you have to choose, suffer in bed crying and throwing up all of the time because the pain is so unimaginably bad or get some heroin and feel normal again. The choice is sadly obvious but now you are addicted to Heroin. Heroin goes away and now Fentanyl analogues are all that is left so you get clean on Suboxone and try to work hard to keep your sobriety but you are living your life in agony all of the time barely able to function. As your disease progresses, the Suboxone becomes less and less effective and so out of desperation you choose to get on Methadone because it works better for pain however, now you are stuck going to a clinic every day that's 1 hour away from home. It's harder to maintain Methadone than just using Fentanyl on the streets because of our policies here in the USA. You slowly lose everything just trying to maintain the car and pay for gas to the clinic and then you go without to experience Methadone withdrawl the first time. It is the worst possible opioid you could WD from(Except perhaps Carfentanyl or Phenylfentanyl) and upon realizing that Methadone is the only MAT that works with your pain triggers to use, you realize there is no hope. You can't make it to treatment because it costs too much to sustain. Then, you kill yourself because you realize that the pain and agony from your illness is never going to be treated for. Pain patients are committing suicide in massive numbers and nobody is talking about that... thank you for this video, it was full of great info that I am trying to spread!

Scots: “Ah swallay ehteh a deh. Ah’ve hud ehteh tadeh awruddy.” English: “I swallow eighty a day. I’ve had eighty today already.”

so everything free on the NHS ... come and get your fix free ....what a load of garbage thinking here

Prun Bijral is currently consulting at a Priory mental health facility, on which I am a patient. He is abusive verbally and I am aware at times he has been more than physically abusive to patients and staff. When discussing medication with him or my care plan, he refuses to allow you to speak or have any input into your own care. He prescribes archaic medications with horrific side effects and I am quite sure he is in this profession purely to torment and abuse vulnerable people with mental health issues.

She's spot on about everything, amazing woman.

yes the silent majority knows know she nothing but a little lieing toxic Dwarf.

what we are seeing is not harm reduction! it's enabling further psychological harm to already vulnerable people! this isn't giving hard drug addicts a soft drug alternative until they're clean! Original Vancouver HARM REDUCTION CLUB Ian

How many times do advocates, academics and really any rational human being need to keep saying the same things, just give people who use drugs what they need

Jesus Christ the guy just said if you present for treatment you can get it in 20 minutes and the guy from Scotland was saying addicts here are kept waiting so they can prove they want help! The Swiss guy just tore that argument to shit😂

So 5 years ago this twat was proud that people don’t have to wait more than 3 weeks for treatment but now I’ve just waited 9 month💩Scotland is a fucking joke honestly,listen to him asking about diversion of drugs and the doctor basically saying it’s not a problem,why would anybody getting pure heroin want to sell it to get money for street heroin? This guy is a fucking embarrassment to Scotland asking stupid fucking questions,you can see the Swiss guy just thinking what the fuck are you people doing?just treat the addicts like adults and ask how they want to be treated for there addiction!

God bless you both for what you're doing and using your time let us all make Jesus Christ Lord of our life today and ask him into our heart for he is coming quickly but I thank him for the many blessings through such wonderful people like yourself God bless you and I pray that I will meet all of you in Heaven one day thank you again

Drug use amongst the young is declining? That's not what I see in our communities. Cocaine is almost as normal as a few beers now

I want to move here so I can use heroin without being a criminal and life a happy long life. I wonder if it’s possible to move my life here and work and use this program. Until usa ends this drug war I don’t want to be here anymore and I’ve been sober 16 months but I’m miserable

Its hugeee!

Attribute half of these ODs to suicide. It's sad and unnecessary

If we could transplant that mindset into the medical profession and government. We would be on the way, in the first step of really getting to grips with this evil. If only they listened to these forward looking people. But from my experience they won't do the right thing, that's why we are still talking about this 45 year's down the road. I Know, because it's the same conversation I've listen to first time since 1979 and every year since. They won't listen to the people who have skin in the game and know the best way to fight this evil. . 👊☘️🇮🇪

Good God in heaven, please do not prescribe benzos for more than a week and never in large dosages. I was prescribed a "wonderful, non-addictive medication that has just been approved" when I returned from overseas with a bad PTSD case. Took me 32 years to get off them and I was mentally ill for five years due to chronic insomnia. They are so problematic that I don't understand why these substances are given for anything but severe crisis. I understand that it's cheaper and less work to shut someone's mind off instead of dealing with the problem, but patients should have the option. Thanks for trying to help. Stay safe and well.

Excellent, it's good to see that doctors are realizing that the client knows what works best for them and it is not just a singular issue. This doctor has a really good understanding of the the complexities of this condition, we need more like minded professionals working in this field.

Putting out tenders for access to the lowest remunerated contracts is not conducive to good practice or effective results for users of services. This scheme is all over the place. I could visit people where they are with no fear and I have been there, invaluable experience is being ignored all over Scotland, in favour of clueless box tickers and number crunchers who have no solutions.

Great stuff eh ? You don't get bad reviews from people in your employ - let the people still using the services have a voice ! We might hear some truth for a change. I am desperate for employment but they'd rather pay 10 officials with hugely beneficial contracts to say what Scot's nazis want them to say. Give the people involved clear details and opportunities, not soundbites!

I hope Scottish Drug Services take better care of their Drug Worker employees than those in England where we are struggling with ridiculous caseloads (mine is currently at 71 when it was supposed to be at around 40 max! I have also only had supervision about 9 times in 2 years and face to face maybe 3 of those. The staff turnover is very high because workers are burnt out and simply unable to cope. We want the best for our clients but just don’t have the time to do the job properly. Meanwhile the agency are still making £M’s each year.

Awesome

I would inject crystal meth and share needles with friends when I didn't have any clean ones. Somehow I didn't catch hiv but my mom's friend weighed like 50 pounds once his hiv turned to aids and he passed away.

I was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. I love herbs so much. Sometimes, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured 8 months ago but I had to wait for some months and did so many tests during this period to confirm that I am truly cured. I suffered from HIV for 2 years, but with the help of Dr. Sani herbal medicines, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my aunty from herpes. As soon as I heard she had herpes, I referred her to the doctor and she was cured after drinking his herbs.I have since then referred about 4 persons and they were all cured from their various illnesses. Have you tried herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections, etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Dr. Sani is a herbalist doctor, I believe he can help you if you can follow his instructions and drink his natural herbs. He has herbs that cures HIV, Herpes, Diabetes, Asthma, Hepatitis, etc. Contact Dr. Sani by Email: perfectherbalcure@gmail.com Call/WhatsApp on: +2348118184266

I think I’m in what they call tolerance withdrawl right now over the last almost two months from 0.25mg klonopin for the last six months I have hightened anxiety, palpitations, hyperventilation, and a very bloated stomach that won’t go down I don’t know what to do going forward because it doesn’t seem to light up, and I refuse to up the dose

6:22 this is why we need prison abolition as well. defunding police as first responders to crisis. they bring more harm. marginalized individuals are endangered when they are calling the cops. canada needs more than a good samaritan law. we need to just have EMS as first responders.

Going on a year and half tapering these. Doctors need jail time for misusage of benzos. The recommended usage duration is 2-4 weeks however a person can become dependent within 9 days of usage. I currently have 83 symptoms I've experienced trying to come off these pills. Wish I never ever took them. Lost everything. To those of you who are benefiting from these... Understand that these arnt a long term solution they will turn on you and you will enter hell. :( good luck everyone

Good video, just putting it out there tho, the noises in the background are SUPER annoying.... Especially the crinkling of plastic or whatever it is at the beginning of the video.

Scotland, this place would rather watch good lives going to waste with people dying on our streets, never mind injection sites, give out medical grade heroin to users and watch people change their own lives.

HELLO MY FOLLOW VIEWERS. I am here to share my hiv experience how was diagnosed with Hiv, I experienced a lot pains and other symptoms so I went to the hospital for treatment and I was diagnosed of hiv my immune system was weak. the doctor gave me anti retroviral drugs to slowdown the virus load which later worsen the outbreak because the drugs weren't effective and I was so scared cause they said the virus has no cure, out of frustration I told my close friend Mike about it and luckily he told me he once battled same problem in the past but he was saved by The grace of Jesus and Dr. kanayo Peterson on TH-cam. Mike gave me his contact and I reach out to Dr. kanayo and explain everything to him. he told me about his herbal medicine which is very effective and has no side effect. I used it as instructed by Dr. kanayo and I became well and negative again after taking the herb he sent me. if you have such case or any other health problems Dr. kanayo Peterson is our Savior. contact his email address drkanayonaturalcure@gmail.com WhatsApp. +1(909) 375-5642 I LOVE YOU Dr kanayo Peterson for saving my life, my testimony video is on dr kanayo Peterson youtube channel everyone do look it up at your free time.

when you have REALLL TRAUMA, being raped repeatedly, losing more than one child. lost voth parents , abused your whole life, raped most of it. yea i couldnt BREATHE and my anxiety litetally did trauma to my heart. benzos SAVED my life. if youve never had an hour long panic attack/hyperventilation out of NO WHERE and you swear your dying, as you gasp for air ! when you take a bezo it will stop almost immediately, not everyone needs them but DONT KNOCK the ones that do !!

I'm sorry is he suggesting Quetiapine doesn't cause dependancy?

Bingo! Unresolved trauma. Benzos are now contraindicated longterm for trauma.

At 32:10- how many years a person has been taking benzos will reflect how many months they reduce them? For people who think Dr's don't know alot about benzo dependancy... (not addiction) - here is your proof. They know. This drug has caused problems for decades. Why are we as patients, not being taken care of properly or pulled off too quickly and horribly injured from this drug?

Dr. Thomas at 9 minutes, are you suggesting that youre giving patients informed consent prior to prescribing a benzo to a new patient?

I was on benzos for 40 yrs.

Thank you

I never think I live long again and am so grateful about him Drefe who help me cured my HIV AIDS last month.

I asked her if she had his email and she side yes, she gave me his email, I emailed him he talked to me and he perform the herbs and he told me that after two weeks I should go for a test. Which I did, when the doctor told me that am now a HIV negative I couldn’t believe myself I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was human on planet earth, so I emailed him and thanked him. Please if you are having a similar problem please visit him/contact him at; whatsapp +2349056695533 or you can also contact him on email drefe4427@gmail.com .
