What Is The Goal For Harm Reduction?

H.R. focuses attention in engaging directly with PWUD to try preventing overdose, infectious diseases like viral hepatitis and HIV from spreading, along with offering low barrier options for accessing health care services that include mental health and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment.

Organizations that use the H.R. practice may also serve as a pathway to additional health and social services, including prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

H.R. offers opportunities to reach out to those who aren't otherwise accessing healthcare services.
