Harm Reduction

Harm reduction services aim to reduce the harms caused by drug use by providing advice and information that will enable substance misusers, particularly injecting drug users, to make informed choices about their drug use while also reducing the transmission of blood borne viruses.

Harm reduction services are offered on a one to one basis and we'll treat any information you give us as confidential.

Needle and syringe exchanges at service centres and at pharmacy exchanges
Overdose prevention training for individuals and groups
Confidential testing services for Hepatitis B and C, and for HIV and AIDS
Individual appointments for the provision of advice and information about drugs and drug use, particularly injecting drug use
Referrals for specialist consultation for Hep B and C, and for HIV and AIDS
Informal and confidential assessments for drug use
