What the document actually says
“by injection or implantation for the purpose of maintenance or detoxification treatment”
That sentence, in plain words
The first kind of drug is given by shot or by implant. It is used to hold a person steady or to help them come off a drug.
What this is about
An implant is placed under the skin. It releases the drug over time. Both forms are given by a health worker, not taken home.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
