Safe Injection Sites
Safe Injection Sites are designated places where individuals can use drugs under the supervision of trained staff. These facilities aim to reduce the risks associated with drug use, such as overdose and the spread of infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C. They provide sterile equipment and access to health services, including addiction treatment and counseling.
These sites are part of a broader harm reduction strategy that seeks to improve public health and safety. By offering a controlled environment, Safe Injection Sites can help connect users with resources and support, ultimately promoting healthier choices and reducing the stigma surrounding drug use.
