A very special thank you to the 350 Denverites that attended our fundraiser last night to meet and hear from THE Sheila Vakharia. Nothing better than being in a room full of harm reductionists. xo

"Emergency calls for drug overdoses in Denver fell by 27% between 2022 and 2023, all while fatal overdoses rose during the same span.

Why it matters: It's a trend alarming advocates who are linking it to a 2022 fentanyl bill they said would lead fewer people to call emergency lines due to potential repercussions.

By the numbers: Denver 911 recorded 1,535 fewer calls last year coded in its system as overdoses, according to data obtained by Axios from the emergency dispatch center.

Meanwhile, at least 560 people in Denver died from overdoses in 2023, per preliminary data from the city, up from 453 people in 2022."

Our Story

People use drugs. While we support substance abuse prevention and treatment efforts, we live in reality and know that the most effective way to prevent the spread HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) is to stop it at its source: the needle. We know that our participants care about their lives and their wellbeing. Stigma prevents society from making informed decisions about public health. Old-fashioned laws and attitudes surrounding drug addiction, accidental overdoses, and the spread of blood-borne pathogens like HCV and HIV have historically served to perpetuate the problems they sought to resolve. The HRAC’s current initiatives—based on science, data, and compassion—are good for the health and safety of everyone in our community.
