The benefits of substitution therapy are multifaceted. Firstly, it reduces the immediate health risks associated with the consumption of toxic substances by providing a controlled and safer alternative. Secondly, it helps individuals stabilize their lives by minimizing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, which can lead to a decrease in illicit drug use and associated criminal activities. Additionally, substitution therapy can improve overall health outcomes, reduce the transmission of infectious diseases, and increase the likelihood of successful recovery and social reintegration.
