Description
• Discusses how harm reduction can be a safety net for people with substance use disorders who our current addiction treatment currently rejects, abandons, and leaves behind
• Educates the reader about harm reduction, which is a set of tools and strategies for people who use drugs and alcohol to reduce risks associated with substance use, such as providing sterile syringes, support for controlled or moderated use, strategies for managing adverse drug effects and preventing overdose
• Offers key lessons and call the reader to action whether it is to support local efforts to open a local syringe service program, to let their District Attorney know that they do not want them to prosecute low-level drug offenses, or to vote for politicians who include health-focused drug policies on their platforms
