Needle syringe programs are a harm reduction strategy that aims to reduce the potential health, social, and economic effects associated with drug use by meeting people who use substances where they are at.
Sharing needles and other drug equipment or reusing used needles can put individuals at risk of getting an infection, such as group A streptococcal disease, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV.
Needle syringe programs offer free harm reduction supplies, such as new needles and other drug equipment. They also offer needle disposal bins and a place to return used needles to be disposed of safely. Educational resources regarding harm reduction strategies are also provided.
