转移病人出售或分享他们的药物的做法是阿片类药物替代治疗的一个备受争议的问题。在瑞典南部的11个阿片类药物替代治疗项目中研究了患者的定期转移。使用定量和定性数据，调查这些患者是否与其他患者不同，他们的转移动机和手段，以及接受者是谁。定期转移是一个小的，但异质群体。然而，继续使用非法药物是一个突出的共同风险因素。金钱的需要和帮助朋友的愿望是其他重要的动机。客户群主要由那些经常转移毒品的人组成。
Diversion-the practice of patients selling or sharing their medication-is a much debated problem of opioid substitution treatment. Regular diversion by patients was studied at 11 opioid substitution treatment programs in the south of Sweden. Using quantitative and qualitative data, it was investigated whether those patients differ from other patients, their motives for and means of diversion, and who the recipients are. Regular diverters are a small, yet heterogeneous group. Continued illicit drug use, however, stands out as a common risk factor. Pecuniary need and a desire to help friends are other important motives. The client base mainly consists of people from the regular diverters' own drug milieus.
