Syringe Access Services
Safer injection and substance use supplies that prevent the transmission of HIV and HCV.
People Who Inject Drugs
Everyone deserves access to the tools, information and support they need if they are looking to reduce the harms associated with drugs and alcohol, without question and without judgement. We provide access to safer injection equipment and disposal supplies, Narcan (naloxone) and overdose prevention education, wound care, hepatitis C testing and treatment, walk-in substance use support, opioid replacement therapy with Suboxone, and more.
Injection drug use is associated with the transmission of HIV, hepatitis C and other blood-borne illnesses, abscesses and other skin infections, and may put people who inject at risk for overdose and death. Our services are intended to help you reduce those risks, with no judgement.
