Needle Exchange Service
Our Needle Exchange Service is a vital community resource designed to promote public health and safety by providing individuals with access to clean syringes and safe disposal options. We aim to reduce the transmission of bloodborne diseases, such as HIV and Hepatitis C, while also minimizing the risks associated with improper needle disposal.
Through our confidential and non-judgmental service, we offer:
Free, sterile needles and syringes
Participants can exchange used needles for new, sterile ones, ensuring safer practices for those who use injection drugs.
Safe disposal
We provide secure disposal containers for used needles, helping to keep our community safe and clean.
Health education
Our trained staff offers information on safe injection practices, overdose prevention, and access to healthcare resources.
Support services
We connect individuals with additional resources, including addiction treatment programs, mental health services, and housing assistance.
Our goal is to foster a healthier community by reducing the risks associated with injection drug use and promoting harm reduction strategies. We believe in treating all individuals with respect and dignity, recognizing that everyone deserves access to the resources they need to lead healthier lives.
