Title Standards of treatment and case management in Germany Type Conference Article
Year 2003 Publication Treatment monitoring in the EU and the action plan on drugs 2000-2004 Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 24
Keywords case management; health care quality control; public policy on illicit drugs; financial management; Germany
Abstract In Germany, the risky consumption of legal and illegal substances causes a great deal of social and psychological harm to the individual and to society. It is a key objective of health policy to prevent or substantially reduce risky consumption, harmful use and dependence on addictive substances by every possible means. Consequently, drug prevention is of outstanding importance. In addition, it is important to recognise addictive developments at an early stage and offer assistance in good time, so that addiction can be prevented or a way out of addiction found. Addiction is an illness requiring treatment. The aim is to make the existing treatment options available to addicts as soon, and as comprehensively, as possible. Addicts in Germany have a legal claim to assistance. The providers of social security benefits are obliged to finance this assistance. Together with the service providers and self-help groups they have, in recent decades, established a wide range of drug dependence and addict support services. In the last 30 years, a high-quality, differentiated treatment system has been developed in the addict support sector in Germany, encompassing outreach and low-threshold support, non-residential counselling and treatment offers, qualified withdrawal, residential withdrawal treatment with a subsequent adaptation phase and continuing, post-residential support services in the framework of integration (e.g. non-residential rehabilitation, assisted living, vocational rehabilitation projects, aftercare and self-help groups). In addition, there is a medication-assisted, non-residential treatment system, especially for opiate addicts. Substitution treatment for opiate addicts has been quantitatively expanded and qualitatively improved in recent years. It has become a pillar of the support available for opiate addicts. The efficacy of this counselling and treatment system has been widely confirmed. Co-operation between office-based doctors and the addict support system should be promoted in order to improve the interfaces in the field of acute medicine. There is a need for patients suffering from chronic multiple addiction, and thus presenting unfavourable starting conditions, also to be given the possibility of taking up the offer of withdrawal treatment. The resources available for the treatment of pathological dependence are also to guarantee need-based, high-quality care in the future. However, too few people with addiction problems are still being reached, and often too late. For this reason, improving access to addicts and people at risk of addiction is a central objective of health policy. The different measures of treatment – i.e. case management as an effective tool – will be presented. Quality assurance procedures will be also discussed. Quality assurance (QA) is implemented by the pension and health insurance funds which finance the treatment of drug addiction in Germany. QA as part of quality management aims to offer a high level of quality in drug aid. QA focuses on the effectiveness and efficiency of the services. A process of continuous improvement of treatment results is implemented. Systematic QA in in-patient institutions (esp. in medical rehabilitation centres) is stipulated by the service provider and strictly carried out. Case management has been shown to be effective in a pilot project to reach hard-to-reach addicts. The assistance planning procedures were difficult to implement (low reliability of clients, inadequate stability, cognitive limitations). Nevertheless, case management supervision was terminated successfully. The overall situation of clients improved. The vast majority of clients had been (very) satisfied with this intervention. Generally, satisfaction grew with the intensity of co-operation. Support structures were expanded in many pilot regions. Conceptual pre-requisites will be discussed.

Title Shooting up : infections among injecting drug users in the United Kingdom 2005 Type Report
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 24
Keywords intravenous drug user; infection; HIV infection; viral hepatitis; hepatitis C; vaccination; hepatitis B; needle sharing; personal hygiene; crack cocaine; United Kingdom
Abstract Key findings: HIV: The prevalence of HIV infection among injecting drug users (IDUs) in England and Wales has increased in recent years. Overall, around one in 50 IDUs are now infected, which is still low compared to many other countries. The prevalence remains elevated among IDUs in London with around one in 25 HIV infected. The recent increase in HIV prevalence has been greatest elsewhere in England and Wales, where the prevalence has risen from around one in 400 in 2003 to about one in 65 in 2005. Hepatitis C: Overall, approaching one in two IDUs in the UK have been infected with hepatitis C, which is also low compared to many other countries. However, there are marked regional variations in hepatitis C prevalence within the UK, with the low prevalences found in some areas suggesting that hepatitis C infection is not an inevitable consequence of injecting drug use. Surveillance and research data also indicate that the overall prevalence of hepatitis C infection among IDUs has probably increased in recent years and that levels of hepatitis C transmission remain elevated. Voluntary confidential diagnostic testing: Uptake of testing for hepatitis C among IDUs in contact with drug services has increased in recent years. It is estimated, however, that almost half of those IDUs with hepatitis C in contact with these services still remain unaware of their infection. There will also be substantial numbers of current and former IDUs who are not in contact with services who will be unaware they have hepatitis C. Whilst most IDUs in contact with services report having had a test for HIV at some point, less than half of those with HIV are aware of their infection. There is therefore a need to improve the provision of voluntary confidential testing services for both hepatitis C and HIV. Vaccination: The proportion of IDUs reporting uptake of hepatitis B vaccination has increased markedly in recent years, with the prison vaccination programmes being a major factor in this increase. However, the transmission of hepatitis B continues among IDUs. There is a particular need to improve the provision of vaccinations to IDUs through needle exchange services, including the provision of the vaccines against hepatitis A and tetanus as well as that against hepatitis B. In England, the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse (NTA) is developing performance monitoring for the provision of vaccination by services for drug users. Bacterial infections: The ongoing occurrence of wound botulism cases indicates that the environmental contamination of heroin with bacterial spores remains a problem. There are also continuing problems with injecting site infections associated with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and severe group A streptococcal infection. Behaviours: Levels of reported needle and syringe sharing increased in the late 1990s, and since then have remained elevated with over a quarter of IDUs reporting sharing in the previous month. The sharing of other injecting equipment is more common. There are also indications that injecting into the groin (femoral vein) may be becoming more common. It is also apparent that there are a variety of individual and environmental factors that may affect injecting behaviour and hygiene, and that the effects on risk of factors such as homelessness, the injecting environment, and drugs injected need further investigation. In particular the role of crack-cocaine use, which has become more widespread, is a cause for concern.
