Harm Reduction Supplies
What are harm reduction supplies and why are they important?
Harm reduction supply distribution is an important component of public health and helps promote safer and informed substance use and sex, reduces infections and the transmission of communicable diseases like HIV and Hep C, and helps to connect people to social support and other essential social services.
You can pick up free harm reduction supplies at the community health agencies below.
Commonly available harm reduction supplies include:
Information about safer drug use, safer sex, communicable diseases, and community resources
Sterile drug use kits for safer injection, crack and meth smoking, and snorting
Safer sex supplies including external and internal condoms and lube
Fentanyl test strips (if using SIS/OPS services) and other drug testing services
Injectable (IM) and nasal-spray (Narcan) naloxone to reverse opioid overdoses
