Syringe Access Services

Our syringe access services program operates seven days a week at the Harm Reduction Center and in neighborhoods across San Francisco. Our teams provide safer injection and substance use supplies that prevent the transmission of HIV and improve the health of people who use drugs. We also provide overdose response training and resources, cure people of hepatitis C, link people to social services, provide suboxone opioid replacement treatment, offer a syringe pickup service, and so much more.

Since 1993

We have provided street-based syringe access services to people who inject since 1993 and are one of the nation’s largest harm reduction programs.
