They're not controversial unless you think people who use drugs should inject in back alleys and other dangerous locations. #harmreduction #safeconsumption
Some extremely good news: yesterday, the Illinois Opioid Remediation Advisory Board approved up to $18 million in funding for up to three overdose prevention sites (!!!) AND a one-time $20 million for housing. Harm reduction saves lives.

Controversial 'overdose prevention sites' get $18 million in Illinois funding

There is a persistent myth that #SafeConsumption and treatment sites are solely about supervised drug use. In reality, they are the primary healthcare and social service hubs for people who have been pushed to the furthest margins of our city.

We need #safeconsumption sites so people don't pass out, freeze and die in a dumpster. We need them as a safety net and a chance at voluntary rehab. A trusted safe supply. Nonjudgemental. Less stigma. It's the #drugs NOT the human being. #Addiction is soul crushing. #compassion #WhosChildIsThis

Premier Doug Ford seems to think the opioid crisis no longer exists. He could not be more wrong
Between March 2020 and May 2025, the Parkdale CTS recorded 18,454 visits, made more than 12,000 referrals to community services, and reversed 962 overdoses that could have been fatal. That
