With the global increase in drug use, there is a need for comprehensive and equitable drug policies. Access to treatment services for drug-related disorders remains inadequate, with significant disparities between regions. The provision of accessible drug treatment services is essential to protect the right to health of people who use drugs. Socioeconomic factors play a significant role in drug use, and addressing these underlying factors can help reduce the risks associated with drug use. Discrimination against people who use drugs further exacerbates the harm caused by drug policies.
