Over the last three days, there has been an increase in suspected overdoses at Marion County emergency departments. Reports include use of opioids, m**h, benzos, co***ne, and spice/KD. If you would like any of your supplies tested (syringes, baggies, pipe covers, filters), come to any of the syringe exchange locations to get swabbed. We are open at 1434 Shelby St tomorrow (Tuesday) from 12:30 to 4:30 pm.

So it’s a ~little~ tricky to get to us at 1434 Shelby St right now. Shelby St is closed from Prospect to Cottage Ave. You are only able to access the building coming from the North. Here is a map of the best route (yes, we know it’s a maze - sorry!). Please note that Prospect, Morris St, and Barth are one way, so leaving the building will look a little different.

Due to construction in the area, Safe Syringe will be closed tomorrow, Jan 6. Normal hours will resume Wednesday at HealthNet Southwest.

There has been a large drug seizure in Indianapolis in 46203. See below for details on an Overdose Lifeline pop up for support.

Safe Syringe will be open at 1434 Shelby St today until 4:30 pm. Swing by for prevention supplies and paraphernalia testing. Paraphernalia will not be collected, just swabbed to report back what substances were in the supply.

Next week we will be closed Tuesday through Thursday. Normal operating hours will occur on Friday and Monday.

Shelby St in front of our building will be closed for the next few months. You can access the parking lot by turning West (right from the North) on Orange St by the gas station and taking the alley to our building.
