Yes and no.
Most people who enter heroin-assisted treatment will receive an injectable, which is a treatment under supervision, meaning they will have to come in two to five times a day to inject the pharmaceutical heroin. There is no take home at the beginning of the treatment, but this can actually change if the patient stabilizes enough in treatment after a certain period of time. We have relaxed regulations in the past years, so there is now take home for up to a week. We offer pharmaceutical heroin for injectable purposes but also as tablets.
