Long-term self-treatment with methadone or buprenorphine as a response to barriers to opioid substitution treatment : the case of Sweden
Torkel Richert,Björn Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Moves for self-treatment are investigated, as well as attitudes and perceived barriers to OST among drug users with an opioid dependence in Sweden, to find out whether a restrictive and strict rehabilitation-oriented treatment model may force many to manage their own treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Translation Perspective as an Alternative to the Policy Diffusion Paradigm: The Case of the Swedish Methadone Maintenance Treatment
Björn Johnson,Bo Hagström +1 more
TL;DR: The constructivist translation perspective as discussed by the authors depicts policy diffusion as an imitation process, where meaning is constructed by disembedding policy ideas from their previous context and using them as models for altered political structures in a new context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversion of methadone and buprenorphine by patients in opioid substitution treatment in Sweden: Prevalence estimates and risk factors
Björn Johnson,Torkel Richert +1 more
TL;DR: Self-reported diversion was considerably higher than in previous studies, but may also partly be explained by low availability of OST in Sweden, leading to a high demand for the substances by heroin users outside treatment.
Journal Article
Policyspridning som översättning. Den politiska översättningen av metadonbehandling och husläkare i Sverige
TL;DR: In this article, a distinction is made between political and practical translation, and an analytical framework for the study of political translation is presented. But the focus of the analysis is not on policy diffusion, but on how policy ideas are adapted to the given local political context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Björn Johnson,Torkel Richert +1 more
TL;DR: Current ideas and attitudes toward diversion of methadone and buprenorphine among OST staff in Sweden are discussed, based on semi-structured interviews with 25 professionals working in eight OST-programs in southern Sweden.
