在新西兰,一名男子在被突然切断美沙酮治疗后死亡,引发了对阿片治疗系统失灵的调查。 A man in New Zealand died after being abruptly cut off from methadone treatment, sparking a probe into systemic failures in opioid care.

根据健康与残疾专员的报告,新西兰一名男子在突然和非自愿地退出30年美沙酮治疗方案六周后死于混合药物毒性。 A man in New Zealand died from mixed drug toxicity six weeks after being abruptly and involuntarily withdrawn from a 30-year methadone treatment program, according to a Health and Disability Commissioner report. 专员认定新西兰卫生局的丰盛湾成瘾服务违反了消费者权利，在没有正当理由、支持不足或患者参与的情况下终止治疗，尽管该男子自愿减量。 The commissioner found Health New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty Addiction Service breached consumer rights by ending treatment without justification, adequate support, or patient involvement, despite the man’s voluntary tapering efforts. 一名药剂师未经授权还发放了减少的剂量。 A pharmacist also dispensed reduced doses without authorization. 另一起案件涉及一名妇女,其治疗未经同意而改变,造成了痛苦。 A separate case involved a woman whose treatment was altered without consent, causing distress. 专员建议道歉,并将丰盛湾案件提交法律审查,理由是阿片替代护理系统失灵。 The commissioner recommended apologies and referred the Bay of Plenty case to legal review, citing systemic failures in opioid substitution care.
