From Heroin-Assisted Treatment in Switzerland, to Reimagining the British System

This ISAM 2025 Symposium features Professor Adam Winstock and Dr. Maximilian Meyer exploring the history, implementation, and future of heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) in Switzerland and the UK. They trace HAT’s roots from early British harm-reduction practices to Switzerland’s PROVE trials, discussing its proven benefits in reducing illicit drug use, crime, and health risks for treatment-resistant opioid users. The speakers address practical aspects of running HAT clinics, innovations like nasal diacetylmorphine, challenges with stimulant use, legal restrictions, and ways to expand patient access. They also share insights on patient engagement, dosing optimization, and adapting treatment systems to meet the needs of high-risk, marginalized populations. #AddictionMedicine #ISAM #ISAM2025 #HarmReduction #HeroinAssistedTreatment
