RI’s first safe consumption site (SCS), and likely the country’s first state-authorized SCS, is expected to open in Providence in early 2024, providing wrap around services for those at risk of overdose. @WeberRenew @testRIdrugs @pph_collective @Brown_Epi filtermag.org/rhode-island-o…
It is important to recognize that the alternative to naloxone is death. People who do not receive naloxone die from overdoses. It is a fallacy to say receiving naloxone increases likelihood of dying, & it is disingenuous to say you support recovery if you don’t support survival.
It is important to recognize that Naloxone recipients who improved with the drug are 13 times more likely to be dead at 1 year than an age-adjusted member of the general population. Getting people into treatment is the long-term solution. washingtonpost.com/health/2023/03…
Supervised consumption sites don’t “enable” drug use, they provide health care for people who are already using drugs. You shouldn’t have to be drug free to access health care! My last overdose was at booth 5 and I’m now over a decade sober. That wouldn’t be possible without harm…
