What day is it? That's right, another "Did You Know? - Monday"!!!
Let's talk Overdose Prevention. Did you know that Overdose Prevention Centers can reduce overdose deaths by up to 35% in surrounding areas.
💡 Harm reduction isn’t about enabling — it’s about keeping people alive so they have a chance to heal.
These sites offer a safe, non-judgmental space where people can use drugs under medical supervision — with access to care, connection, and resources. More than 60% of OPC users have been referred to addiction treatment, housing, and other health services through on-site staff. Additionally, there is a 67% drop in ambulance calls for overdose in surrounding areas of an OPC.
