Human Rights and Drug Use: Insights from Professor Gabriele Fischer

People with drug use disorder or substance use disorder, how we call it now, it's a very severe psychiatric disorder and the human rights apply to them.
Ever wondered how human rights intersect with drug use and treatment? In this episode of Addictions Edited, Professor Gabriele Fischer dives into the vital role of human rights in addressing substance use disorder. She sheds light on the importance of incorporating family planning and trauma-informed care into treatment services, ensuring that care is not only effective but also respectful of individuals' rights.
Professor Fischer discusses the impact of UN human rights treaties on psychiatry and emphasizes that financial constraints should never justify violating human rights in treatment settings. The conversation also explores sex-specific approaches to therapies, highlighting the differences and shared aspects between genders in substance use disorders. Additionally, she touches on international issues around coercion in treatment and the responsibilities of states to provide quality care.
This episode offers a compelling look at how human rights can shape better treatment outcomes for people who use drugs, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction policy, research, or treatment.
