Objectives of Methadone Clinics

(a) to provide a readily accessible, legal, medically safe and effective alternative to continued illicit self-administration of opiate drugs; (b) to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour due to illicit drug use; (c) to enable drug abusers to lead a normal productive life; (d) to reduce intravenous drug use and needle-sharing and thereby prevent the spread of diseases like AIDS, hepatitis B and tetanus; and (e) to assist drug abusers to detoxify and achieve a drug-free state.

Entry Requirements

No referral is required. Any person who is addicted to opiates and has no life-threatening medical illness may apply for admission. The charge is HK$1 (for eligible person: residents) or HK$23 (for non-eligible person) per visit. Registration can be made at any methadone clinic by presenting the identity card (or valid travel document for non-Hong Kong residents). The particulars of patients would be treated in the strictest confidence and would not be divulged without the patients’ written consents.

Services Provided

(a) history taking, medical examination, methadone prescription, blood and urine tests for patients; (b) guidance and counselling by social workers; (c) assessments, re-assessments, and individual treatment plans for patients; (d) referrals to other service agencies, for example, SACs, SARDA, religious organizations, for detoxification; and (e) group programmes, structured aftercare after detoxification, for patients.
