Please Sign: Collection of supports for the continuation of the Action Plan on drugs in Reus

 

H Καταλωνία έχει εδώ και δεκαετίες ένα προοδευτικότατο νόμο για τη χρήση ουσιών, ο οποίος έχει δώσει δυνατότητα σε πολλούς ανθρώπους να επιβιώσουν και να ζήσουν με αξιοπρέπεια.

Υπεύθυνη κατά πολύ ήταν η Δρ Tre Borras που άδικα απολύθηκε από τη σημαντική της θέση ως Διευθύντρια Υπηρεσιών Ναρκοεξάρτησης και Διανοητικής Υγείας.

 

Ας υπογράψουμε να διορθωθεί η αδικία. Τη χρειαζόμαστε τη γιατρό μας.

 

Catalonia has had an innovative and pioneering harm reduction approach for several decades now. There is no doubt that this is the reason that so many people have been able to access the support they need to live healthier and better lives.

 

This has been possible in the most part due to the work that has been done by the Dr Tre Borras over many years. She has now been unfairly dismissed from the position as the Director of the Drug Dependence and Mental Health Services for the hospital of Reus for robustly defending this model of approach which has positively impacted so many people who may not be alive today had it not been for the work of Dr Borras. 

 

This action is not just unfair but also risks a lifesaving and changing model of intervention which is community based and innovative being put at risk.

In praise of the model of drug dependence services in Reus.
The news of the dismissal of Dr. Tre Borràs Cabacés as director of the Drug Dependence and Mental Health Service (core to the plan of action on drugs of the city of Reus), came as a great surprise. The destitution –announced by the head of Reus’ Sant Joan Hospital to which the service is attached– appears as a clear disavow of the approach and direction followed so far.

The surprise comes from our awareness that the Service has unfolded a successful  array of intervention in the field of drug use, that have become a model thanks to their comprehensiveness –precisely that quality so prised and preached by policymakers–:

 - Based on an understanding of drugs as a complex phenomenon, Dr. Borràs’ Service has consolidated assistance continuously fed back, and connected to cutting-edge research (for example, with regards to the use of ibogaine);

 - a strong commitment to risks and harm reduction policies, which are the future of interventions when applied to all aspects in the field;

 - a community-based and interdisciplinary approach allowing the Service to articulate the biomedical and social aspects associated with drug use phenomena and disorders processes they need to attend;

 - a notable presence in local, national, and international networks, root to the Service’s recognized impact and continuous innovations.

All this with clear leadership, strengthening the project as a whole.

A measure like the one that has motivated this letter appears to us as extremely negative, when acknowledging that in this Reus, beyond the speeches and statements, the praised concepts of interdisciplinarity, management of complexity, comprehensiveness, socio-sanitary articulation, community-based intervention, leadership capacity, etc., have become an interesting reality (including an example at an international level), fully embedded into Catalonia’s Public Health system.

For all these reasons, we call for the continuity of the model represented by the Reus Action Plan on Drugs.
