L’objectif
This study presents the first empirical findings about the patients’ experiences of, and satisfaction with, heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) in the Norwegian context.
Constatations/points à retenir
Analysis outlines how the participants’ everyday lives are impacted by being in the treatment and how this, respectively, results from the treatment’s medical, relational, or configurational dimensions. We found an overall high level of treatment satisfaction among the participants. The identification of experienced challenges reveals factors that reduce satisfaction and thus may hinder treatment retention and positive treatment outcomes.
