Drug Related Harm Reduction Supplies
General Drug Related Harm Reduction Supplies
Programs that distribute an assortment of supplies that help prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, and other blood-borne infectious diseases by providing new, sterile and single use equipment and biohazard containers for safe disposal, in order to reduce the spread of these diseases. Supplies provided may vary per program, and can include safe injection supplies (needles with syringes, needle tips, syringes, sterile water vials, cookers, acidifiers, alcohol swabs, tourniquets), safe inhalation supplies (pipes, stems, screens, mouth pieces, push sticks, foils), drug testing, and antidotes to reverse an overdose from opioids. Also included are supplies for safe hormone injection for trans, gender diverse and two-spirited individuals who face unique barriers and inequitable access to gender-affirming health care services. The distribution of supplies is part of a comprehensive public health disease prevention strategy with the goal to reduce re-using and sharing drug use equipment.
Programs that distribute Narcan or other similar substances that block the effects of opiates such as heroin, morphine, codeine, OxyContin, methadone, fentanyl and Vicodin but cannot themselves be used to get a person high. Opiate antidotes can be used to reverse the effects of an opiate overdose including restoring breathing that has stopped or slowed down, and may be distributed to opiate users to reduce the number of deaths that occur from opiate overdose.
