Preface: Most of the people, who are incarcerated, are considered as competent labor force and in the most of the times they are young people of the society and they would return to the community after serving a period of conviction. Promoting health condition in prison population and effective use of imprisonment period is a safe way to rehabilitate the prisoners. Harm reduction programs begin with supporting “a group of people who have risky behaviors or can not quit drug abuse or do not like give them up”. The philosophy of harm reduction is based on pragmatism theory. In fact harm reduction paradigm is focused on the individual risky behaviors reduction. The practical principles of this paradigm are based on empowerment of risky personalities. Harm reduction defines the pattern of substance abuse as a range, from negative consequences for abusers and society to abstinence.

Opium tincture or tincture of opium (TOP), also known as Laudanum, is an alcoholic herbal preparation of opium. It is made by combining ethanol with opium latex or powder. After works of Paracelsus, the 16th century Swiss-German alchemist, who discovered that the alkaloids in opium are far more soluble in alcohol compared to water and named Opium tincture as Laudanum, this drug has been found a broad range of applications as the drug of choice for practically every ailment through 17th to 19th centuries. The early 20th century brought increased regulation of all manner of narcotics, including laudanum, as the addictive properties of opium became more widely understood. By the late 20th century, TOP's use was almost exclusively confined to treating severe diarrhea. During these thirty years, The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of opioid substitution therapy for the treatment of opioid addiction has been well documented by methadone and buprenorphine. Based on the idea of substitution therapy, TOP and slow releasing oral morphine (SROM) have been proposed as the new alternatives. TOP could be used in three different ways in interventions for opioid dependency, first, as a supportive drug to reduce withdrawal syndrome during detoxification programs, second, as a substitution drug in long term maintenance, third, as a legal form of opioid drugs for harm reduction purposes. A little but growing evidences are supporting effectiveness of TOP for detoxification programs, in Iran, some preliminary open label studies showed effectiveness of TOP as a detoxifying drug in three to six month program, Now another open label study is evaluating TOP in a specific detoxification program with monthly evaluation and providing long term follow up after reaching to abstinence. There are a strong debate among the policy makers and clinicians on implementation of TOP in Iranian National Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities. In this article, We reviewed the proposed threads and hopes that is expected for TOP in Iran and other countries with the same situations.
