Safe Injection Facilities
Safe Injection Facilities (SIFs) are controlled spaces where individuals can use drugs safely under the supervision of trained staff. These facilities provide sterile equipment, health services, and support to reduce the risks associated with drug use, such as overdose and the spread of infectious diseases. By creating a non-judgmental environment, SIFs aim to improve public health, connect users to treatment resources, and decrease harmful practices in the community. They are part of broader harm reduction strategies that prioritize health and safety over criminalization.
