Changing Drug Consumption Patterns Among Clients Attending the Medically Supervised Injecting Centre, Sydney: Implications for Service Provision and Harm Reduction Response
There has been an increase in amphetamine injection at MSIC, with the most frequent service attenders most likely to report injecting both opioids and amphetamines. There has been no parallel increase in disruptive behaviour. Those exclusively injecting amphetamines do not attend the service frequently. Strategies to support opportunistic intervention are clearly warranted.
