[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 736662, member: 21895"] There is a lot of controversy around harm reduction and safe injection sights beinga part of that model. Research and data actually show that these sights actually help engage addicts into self care. The eduction and support provide help drebuild their dignity and increases entry into rehab. Funny you should ask as to say I had a rough shod gentleman clearing an addict come to my clinic door today asking if I was the safe injection sight. When I said no and stood up he backed away and apologized. I said it’s ok I am just going to direct you to where it is. The look of shock on his face made my heart sink a little. It was hot I asked him if he needed a bottle of water and then took one and thanked me with so much appreciation in his eyes. As a dear person said in a support group the other day they are not POS junkies they are sick. We set boundaries but that doesn’t mean providing acts of kindness and support in our communities. Still if he asked me for 10 bucks I’d say nope. [/QUOTE]
