Abstract
The cases analyzed illustrate the dual reality that HDB is often ineffective as a maintenance treatment, since some patients continue to inject heroin, and that its misuse can have infectious consequences. The results of HDB maintenance treatment substitution are mixed. The individual benefit/risk ratio must be improved. Networking is crucial, notably between physician and pharmacist, and the monitoring system must be reinforced.
