Harm reduction is an approach to do exactly that: reduce risk of harm.
There are many things each of us do that come with risk. An everyday example of this is drive, but sometimes we do things like sky dive or do Jiu Jitsu. All of these things come with risk, yet we choose to do them anyway.
Another example of harm reduction is ensuring that people who use drugs have access to life-saving resources such as Never Use Alone.
Never Use Alone provides toll-free national overdose prevention, detection, life-saving crisis response, and medical intervention services for people who use drugs while alone. Never Use Alone’s peer operators are available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
If you or a loved one plans to use drugs alone, please call Never Use Alone at 877-696-1996.
