Denmark

Opioid Substitution Treatments: available

Since 1996 general practitioners are no longer allowed to prescribe methadone to drug users. Methadone treatment must be provided by clinics run by the Danish counties. The county methadone clinics are prepared to accept foreign patients for temporary treatment. Patients needing continued methadone/buprenorphine treatment in Denmark are advised to ask their home prescribers to contact one of the county social and health care authorities in Denmark or the Health Services Department at the Ministry of Health (Mr. Mogens Jørgensen or Mr. Steen Hartvig Hansen). Another useful contact is the Danish Drug User Union (“BrugerForeningen“).

Importation of Methadone/Buprenorphine/Morphine: possible

Travellers are allowed to bring a 30 days’ supply of methadone/buprenorphine/morphine into Denmark, if they live in one of the EU signatory countries of the “Schengen Implementing Convention, Article 75“. They must carry with them a “Certification to carry drugs and/or other psychotropic substances for treatment purposes – Schengen Implementing Convention, Article 75” form when travelling to Denmark.

Travellers from non-signatory countries of the Schengen Agreement are allowed to bring a 14 days’ supply only. They must carry with them a letter from their home prescriber which clearly supports their need for the medication.
