The overdose crisis is about to get a whole lot worse
Manage episode 435656569 series 3340809
As expected, the Ford government has announced it is shutting down multiple supervised drug consumption sites across the province — and banning all new ones. For harm-reduction advocates, the decision flies in the face of years of scientific research that shows these sites lower the risk of accidental overdose, reduce the spread of infectious diseases, and provide a starting point for drug users looking for treatment and withdrawal services. Amber Fritz, the former manager of The Spot, Sudbury’s now-shuttered supervised consumption site, joins Scott and Frisco to talk about what the announcement means for the many people in our communities struggling with addiction. Also on the show this week: corn hustlers!
