Vancouver Safe Injection Site

The Vancouver Safe Injection Site is a supervised facility where individuals can use illegal drugs, such as heroin, with sterile equipment and medical oversight. Its goal is to reduce health risks like overdose and infections, provide immediate help if needed, and connect users with support services for treatment and recovery. This approach aims to improve public health and safety by offering a controlled environment rather than banning drug use outright. It operates under strict regulations and collaboration with health authorities to balance harm reduction with community well-being.
