Harm Reduction Program

Harm reduction is a way of preventing disease and promoting health that “meets people where they are” rather than making judgments about where they should be in terms of their personal health and lifestyle. A harm reduction approach accepts that not everyone is ready or able to stop risky or illegal behavior and instead focuses on reducing associated health risks or harm – Learn more!

Community Feedback

“This is an amazing service. It is a blessing to both addicts and non-addicts in the way of its proven ability to reduce theft, spread of STI’s and other diseases, and unsafe practices.”

“Thanks so much for being here to serve our community.”

“Each time I come here I receive unparalleled, courteous and professional service. Keep it up!”

“I have been working with a family for several years now, who has a loved one with an addiction that they have struggled with for a long time. This individual wants recovery, but on their own terms. The Harm Reduction Peer spoke kindly, shared their own story and offered contact information for open communication which the individual has taken advantage of. Thanks to the Harm Reduction Program, this Mom and I both believe her adult child is on the path to recovery.” – 2023
