UNODC has released a new report on ATS use in Asia - Patterns and Trends of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants and Other Drugs in East and South-East Asia, 2009.
With heroin use generally on the decline in Asia, increasingly our programs are (or will probably be) seeing ATS users. The tools to work with ATS users are often different. Methadone or other substitution therapry does not work with ATS users, for example. But ATS is, increasingly, injected - so NSP programs are likely to be part of the regional response to ATS use.
The report includes useful summaries of the ATS situation, country-by-country. Find the report at:
