- Harm reduction in action: Supervised consumption services and . . . - CATIE
Supervised consumption services (SCS) and overdose prevention sites (OPS) are playing increasingly important roles in Canada’s current harm reduction response to illicit drug use SCS provide sterile drug use equipment for people to use pre-obtained drugs in a safe and clean space, supervised by trained staff
- A Low-Barrier and Comprehensive Community-Based Harm-Reduction Site in . . .
Supervised consumption sites provide safer spaces for people to consume drugs while monitored by staff trained in overdose response 1 We describe a low-barrier, peer-staffed, supervised consumption site in Vancouver, Canada, novel for its integration of drug checking services and programs (1) providing injectable hydromorphone as a treatment

The low-barrier and non-judgmental services offered by SCSs have been especially helpful for folks who are looking to reduce risk or improve health but do not feel safe or comfortable using other social or healthcare services, such as people who are racialized, sexually and
- Accessibility gaps of physical supervised consumption sites in Canada . . .
Overdose response technology or virtual overdose response services are an evolving complementary harm reduction intervention which may overcome certain accessibility barriers of physical supervised consumption sites (SCS) and overdose prevention sites (OPS)
- Mitigation Strategies for the Proposed Barrie Supervised Consumption . . .
The goal of the mitigation strategies is to ensure the supervised consumption site (SCS) provides a safe, effective service to clients and operates to improve community safety and minimize any negative impacts on the surrounding community The local mitigation strategies were developed based on several inputs Firstly, a review was conducted of

Operational and contextual barriers to SCS use contribute to intermittent access for existing clients and preclude SCS access for others Addressing such barriers may increase SCS uptake, thereby further extending the well-documented and critical reach of these harm reduction initiatives
- Integrating supervised consumption into a continuum of care for people . . .
Models of supervised-consumption services operating in Can-ada include peer-run “overdose-prevention sites,” stand-alone storefronts, mobile vans, co-location with harm-reduction pro-grams or social housing, in-hospital services, women-only sites and the aforementioned integrated model
