Ustanovitev varnih sob za injiciranje drog v Sloveniji : diplomsko delo visokošolskega strokovnega študija Varnost in policijsko delo

Globalna kriza je povečala socialno stisko, kar je med drugim povzročilo povečano uporabo prepovedanih drog na javnih mestih, narašča pa tudi število lokacij z odvrženim infektivnim materialom. Učinkovit pristop k reševanju te težave bi bila vzpostavitev programa varnih sob za injiciranje po zgledu uspešnih praks v tujini. Zadnja zakonodajna ovira je bila odpravljena s sprejetjem novega kazenskega zakonika, ki v 187. členu pravi, da je napeljevanje drugega k uživanju drog in dajanje na razpolago prostore za uživanje drog dovoljeno, če storilec ravna po programu zdravljenja odvisnosti ali nadzorovane uporabe drog, ki je v skladu z zakonom potrjen ali se izvaja v okviru ali pod nadzorom javnega zdravstva. Primarni cilj varnih sob za injicirajoče uporabnike je ozaveščanje glede varne uporabe drog in preventiva na področju preprečevanja s krvjo prenosljivih bolezni. V Sloveniji obstajajo potrebe po ustanovitvi tovrstnih programov zmanjševanja škod, program ima celo podporo odgovornih na Ministrstvu za zdravje, toda težava nastane, ker projekt ni med finančnimi prednostnimi nalogami. Zavod za zdravstveno varstvo Koper je Ministrstvu na osnovi izvedene analize o stroškovni učinkovitosti varnih sob predlagal dvoletni pilotski program, v okviru katerega bi se varna soba postavila v Ljubljani ali Kopru, saj sta to dve najbolj ogroženi območji. Dr. Milan Krek, direktor Zavoda za zdravstven varstvo Koper, ki se zelo zavzema za vzpostavitev varnih sob pri nas, je do odgovornih zelo kritičen, saj meni, da manjka odločen človek, ki bo dal zeleno luč za začetek projekta, ki bo v javnosti, predvsem pa v lokalni skupnosti, v kateri bo soba delovala, naletel na zelo verjeten odpor, saj smo Slovenci do drugačnih zelo nestrpni.The global crisis has increased social distress, which, among other things, resulted in the increased use of illicit drugs in public places, as well as increased number of sites with disposed infective material. An effective approach to solving this problem would be to establish a programme of consumption rooms, following the example of successful practices abroad. The last legislative obstacle was eliminated by the adoption of the new Criminal Code, which states in Article 187 that soliciting another person to use narcotic drugs or providing a person with a place or other facility for the use of narcotic drugs was permitted if the offender was guided by the treatment programme or controlled drug use, which was approved by the law or implemented within the framework or under the supervision of the Public Health. The primary objective of safe injection rooms was raising awareness of the safe use of drugs and prevention in the field of blood-borne disease. In Slovenia, there is the need for establishing such damage reduction programmes, and the programme even has support at the Ministry of Healthhowever, a problem arises because the project is not among the financial priorities. On the basis of the performed cost-effectiveness analysis of consumption rooms, the Institute of Public Health Koper has proposed the Ministry a two-year pilot programme under which the consumption room would be established in Ljubljana or Koper, since these are the two most vulnerable areas. Dr. Milan Krek, Director of the Institute of Public Health Koper, who is extremely committed to establishing consumption rooms in Slovenia, is very critical of the responsible persons, as he believes that we lack a decisive man giving green light for the start of the project that will most probably come across quite a resistance in public and especially in the local community, since the Slovenian people are very impatient towards those who are different
