Characteristics of the narcological service in Baku

Abstract

Currently, the laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On the turnover of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors” [5,6] and “On the narcology service and control” [3, 4] define the rules of drug treatment. According to Article 5.6 of the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On Drug Addiction and Control” the anonymity of drug addiction treatment has led to an increase in the number of patients applying to the state narcology centers and to reducing the level of confidentiality of drug addiction. So far, the Government of the Republic has taken appropriate decisions defining the procedure for such assistance and its availability.
