Effectiveness Bank Drug Treatment Matrix: Creating a Lifesaving Treatment and Harm Reduction System

Online course moves on to the whole-system level, where treatment and harm reduction services working in synergy are the best hope for reversing the hepatitis C epidemic - but can any feasible local or national system succeed in this daunting task? Explore whether methadone programmes should be spread thin and wide to extend harm reduction benefits, or deepened with recovery-oriented support for the fewer patients who want and will benefit from these – and to whom we can afford to offer them.
