Safe drug consumption spaces

Safe drug consumption spaces are designated facilities where individuals can use certain substances under supervision. These spaces aim to reduce health risks by providing sterile equipment, medical assistance if needed, and resources for addiction support. They create a controlled environment that minimizes overdose fatalities, prevents the spread of infections, and connects users with healthcare services. The goal is to promote safety, respect, and health while reducing the societal harms associated with drug use. Such spaces are part of a harm reduction strategy, focusing on saving lives and supporting individuals in making healthier choices.
