Calgary’s first supervised consumption site has had more than 48,000 visits since it opened its doors in late 2017 — and front-line workers say it’s saving lives.
Safeworks, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week at the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre, has seen a steady increase in visits with an average now of 204 per day.
“We knew this was a huge need,” said Dr. Nick Etches, Alberta Health Services medical officer of health in charge of the site.
this is a great idea. previous harm reduction methods, such as needle exchanges or easier access to drugs that prevent fatal overdoses have already been shown to have a positive impact, and reduce fatalities. so if this service continues that trend, i hope other governments, and not just in Canada, implement similar programmes.
For all of you out there having recovery as your new years resolutions: I am rooting for you with all my heart and I sincerely hope you achieve your goal.
