Rehabilitation Required: The Right to Drug Dependence Treatment in the Russian Federation

Hundreds of thousands of people in Russia are affected by a chronic disease that is extraordinarily hard to beat: opioid drug dependence. Research suggests that a majority of these people want to stop using drugs or gain control over their addiction, and have made one or multiple attempts to do so. These people are in need of—and have a right to—accessible, effective, evidence-based healthcare services. Photographs by Lorena Ros.
