Why Harm Reduction Services are Important

Harm reduction is a vital approach in addiction care that focuses on reducing the immediate risks of substance use, such as overdose and disease transmission. By providing life-saving interventions like naloxone distribution, harm reduction services can help keep people alive and healthy, creating a safer environment as they work toward recovery.
This approach also builds trust and offers non-judgmental support for individuals who may have felt alienated by traditional treatment methods. We believe by addressing immediate health concerns and showing compassion, harm reduction services open the door to long-term recovery when individuals are ready to take the next step.
