Harm reduction is an evidence-based strategy to minimize infections, decrease overdose deaths, and meet people where they are to reduce the negative effects of drug use.

We must follow the Overdose Prevention Plan, open additional OPS's, and continue ramping up efforts to connect people to treatment.
