Supervised Consumption and Overdose Prevention Services - Interior Health Authority Area

Addictions / Substance Use and Sexual Health

Provided by Interior Health

Supervised intravenous drug injection site designed to be accessible to injection drug users
This program provides clean, safe environments where people can use substances under the supervision of trained staff without the risk of arrest for drug possession. These sites help reduce the transmission of disease, reduce fatal overdoses, and help connect people to health care services, including treatment.

Supervised consumption and overdose prevention sites offer a wide range of complementary health services including:
- Distribution of supplies for safer injection
- Education on safe injection technique and infection prevention
- Overdose prevention and intervention
- Medical and counselling services
- Referrals to substance use treatment
- Connection to housing and other support services
- Drug checking

These designated spaces, which are integrated into existing social service or health care settings or in newly established locations, provide on-site monitoring for people at risk of overdose and allow for rapid response when an overdose occurs.

Each site provides various levels of services, including overdose prevention education and Take Home Naloxone training and distribution. Some sites may also distribute harm reduction supplies (such as sterile needles, filters, cookers, condoms, etc.) offer safe disposal options, and facilitate referrals to mental health and substance use services.
