People are more likely to access detox or treatment if they come to insite.
Imagine a place where people struggling with addiction can find safety and support without judgment. That’s exactly what InSite, North America's only safe injection facility in Vancouver, BC, offers. This episode of Harm Reduction Radio dives into the transformative power of InSite and how it’s changing the landscape of addiction treatment.
Host Kenneth Anderson kicks things off with an insightful conversation about how InSite not only prevents overdose deaths but also encourages users to seek detox and treatment services more readily than those who don’t use the facility. The discussion then shifts to Patt Denning PhD, a pioneering figure in harm reduction therapy and author of 'Over the Influence' and 'Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy'.
Denning shares her groundbreaking work at the Harm Reduction Therapy Center in San Francisco and Oakland, shedding light on the practical and ethical aspects of harm reduction. The episode wraps up with Stanton Peele, who adds his unique perspective on addiction treatment. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the political and social dynamics surrounding safe injection sites and how these facilities can serve as gateways to broader treatment options.
If you’re curious about innovative approaches to addiction therapy or want to learn more about harm reduction, this episode is a must-listen.
