Safe Injection Sites

Safe injection sites are supervised facilities where people can use drugs safely, in a hygienic environment, with access to medical staff. These sites aim to reduce the risks associated with drug use, such as overdose and the spread of infectious diseases. Users can receive counseling, health services, and connections to addiction treatment, if desired. By providing a controlled setting, safe injection sites help protect public health and reduce the negative impact of drug use on communities. They are part of a broader harm reduction strategy that seeks to address substance use in a compassionate and evidence-based manner.
