Alcohol treatment systems in Muslim majority countries: Case study of alcohol treatment policy in Iran
2020, International Journal of Drug PolicyCitation Excerpt :To overcome the potential legal consequences of alcohol treatment-seeking in Iran, MOHME obtained a special ‘fatwā’1 to decriminalise alcohol treatment-seeking. This is under a condition that the person presents themselves to any treatment facility rather than being caught consuming alcohol by the police (Shariatirad et al., 2016). Subsequently MOHME have used many channels, including newspapers, to convey this exemption to the public and to encourage them to seek treatment when needed ((Nwry, 2018); consultation).
Alcohol policy in Iran: Policy content analysis
2019, International Journal of Drug PolicyCitation Excerpt :According to consultation, whether alcohol consumption is treated as a criminal act is dependent upon whether a person under the influence of alcohol is caught by the police. Individuals who present to a health facility for treatment are not reported to the police but are managed as patients (consultations; (Shariatirad et al., 2016)). Evaluation: The Ministry of Health and Medical Education has formed a ‘Supervisory Board’ which is part of a national committee to establish alcohol harm reduction programs.
