Overview
Why worry?What works and what does it cost?What’s the coverage?How much is spent on harm reduction?How much is needed to scale-up harm
reduction?What’s the cost-effectiveness/return on
investment?

What we know about OST (versus compulsory detention)
Compulsory detention common in Asia and Eastern Europe
Detention costlyMinimum cost $1,000 annually in Asia –
mainly securityAverage OST cost $585 annually
Two evaluations underway in Malaysia and Vietnam
What we know about OST (versus compulsory detention)
All RCTs of OST positive (Mattick et al, 2003)
Large observational studies show OST decreases heroin use and criminality (Mattcick, 1998)
OST reduces injecting and increases safe injections (Cochrane Syst. Review; Gowing, 2008; Mattick, 2009)
Amsterdam cohort study (Van den Berg, 2007) showed OST+NSP reduced HIV incidence by 66%
Recent meta-analysis (Mcarthur BMJ2012) shows OST reduces HIV incidence by 50%

What we know about ART in PWID
What we know about combined NSP+OST+ART

What are the cost ranges?NSP
NSP costs $23–71 /yr 1, but higher if all costs includedNSP costs vary by region and delivery system (pharmacies,
specialist programme sites, vending machines, vehicles or outreach)

What is the current coverage of NSP, OST and ART in PWID?
NSP coverage
The Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012
86 countries and territories implement NSPs
High coverage limited to Western Europe and Australia
NSP available as per policy(Black: community and prison, red: community only)
Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012
Gaps in NSP coverage
(1) Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012; (2) based on Mathers et al., 2010
NSP coverage < 20% in all regions - globally, <2 clean needles distributed /PWID /month
Since 2010, NSP provision scaled back in several countries (Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Russia)
72 countries with PWID without NSPs
Over 14 million PWID (90%) may not access NSP

OST coverage
Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012
OST in 77 countries worldwide
7 new countries since 2010, including Tajikistan
Primarily methadone and buprenorphine but also other formulations - slow-release morphine, codeine, heroin-assisted treatment
OST available as per policy(Black: community and prison, red: community only)
Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012
Gaps in OST coverage
6–12% of PWID access OST
Coverage limited in much of FSU
OST unavailable in 81 countries with PWID
ATS use increasing – and limited ATS harm response
Global State of Harm Reduction, 2012
Almost 15 million PWID (92%) may not use OST

Unit costs fall as interventions scaled-upCombined, integrated interventions reduce overheadsIntervention synergies increase effectiveness
Australia invested A$243 million in NSPPrevented estimated 32,050 HIV infections and
96,667 HCV cases A$1.28 billion saved in direct healthcare costsIncluding patient/client costs and productivity gains
and losses, net present value of NSPs is $5.85 billion

ROI - A$27 per A$1 invested
Australia’s example: Economic benefits of a supportive legal and policy
environment
Inaction costlyNOT the equivalent of nothing happeningHard to reverse epidemic once established
Whereas harm reduction is Effective - in terms of HIV cases avertedCost-effective - in terms of healthy years gained and
costsSocial benefits exceed treatment costs
And benefits the whole populationSubstance abuse treatment can benefit more non-
drug users than drug users
