This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document attempts to present an overview of Canada's current strategy regarding substance abuse issues. The strategy reflects a balance between reducing the supply of drugs and reducing the demand for drugs. Substances involved include alcohol, medications (both prescription and non-prescription), illicit drugs, inhalants, and banned and restricted performance-enhancing drugs as defined by the International Olympic Committee. The document first outlines the basic principles of the strategy, and its goals and objectives (primarily health-related). It then describes the components of the strategy's framework (research, knowledge development and dissemination, prevention programs, treatment and rehabilitation, legislation and enforcement/control, national co-ordination, international co-operation), and reviews future directions and priorities. Appendices include a historical context and a review of the current situation regarding substance use and abuse in Canada.

Download or read book Drug Use in Prisoners written by Dr. Stuart A, Kinner and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most countries, problematic drug use is dealt with primarily as a criminal justice issue, rather than a health issue. Accordingly, a large proportion of people in prison have a history of alcohol, tobacco and/or illicit drug use and, despite the best efforts of correctional authorities, some continue to use these substances in prison, often in very risky ways. After release from prison, many relapse to risky substance use, and are at high risk of poor health outcomes, preventable death, or reincarceration. In this edited volume, for the first time we bring together 40 contributors from 10 countries to review what is known about alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use in people who cycle through prisons, and the harms associated with use of these substances. We consider some evidence-based responses to these harms - both in prison and after return to the community - and discuss their implications for policy reform. This book is international in scope and multi-disciplinary in character. It brings together and integrates the perspectives of public health and addictions researchers, criminologists and correctional leaders, epidemiologists, physicians, and human rights lawyers. Our contributors are unified in their commitment to evidence-informed policy - that is, doing what we know works. An overarching theme pervading all of the chapters is that people who cycle through prisons come from the community, and almost always return to the community. Their health problems are therefore our health problems; in other words, 'prisoner health is public health'.
