Addiction is not a crime; it’s a public health challenge – Jan Gerber in CityAM

At Paracelsus Recovery, we strongly advocate for harm reduction strategies to address addiction and dependency. Criminalising drug use only deepens the cycle of shame, stigma, and isolation, exacerbating the very issues it aims to resolve.

In contrast, numerous studies demonstrate that decriminalisation, when combined with harm reduction measures, leads to lower substance abuse rates, improved mental health, and lives saved.
