About the Program
Supervised consumption services are harm reduction based health services that provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential environment where it is legal to possess and consume drugs via injection, intranasal (snorting) and oral (popping pills). In addition to supervised consumption, individuals are provided with harm reduction supplies, education on safer drug use, overdose prevention and intervention, medical and counselling services, and referrals to housing, income support and other services.
