Summary
This project developed a community-based safer supply model in rural and regional British Columbia. This model provided pharmaceutical alternatives to the toxic drug supply and enhanced community care and social supports. The initial focus was on the delivery of a fentanyl patch program to participants at high risk of opioid overdose across Campbell River, the Comox Valley and Port Hardy for whom current harm reduction and treatment interventions were inadequate or inaccessible.

Description
This project developed a community-based safer supply model in rural and regional British Columbia. This model provided pharmaceutical alternatives to the toxic drug supply and enhanced community care and social supports. The initial focus was on the delivery of a fentanyl patch program to participants at high risk of opioid overdose across Campbell River, the Comox Valley and Port Hardy for whom current harm reduction and treatment interventions were inadequate or inaccessible.
Description (French)
Ce projet a permis d’appuyer l’élaboration d'un modèle d'approvisionnement communautaire plus sécuritaire dans les régions rurales et régionales de la Colombie-Britannique. Ce modèle a offert des solutions de rechange pharmaceutiques à l'approvisionnement en drogues toxiques et a amélioré les soins communautaires et les soutiens sociaux. L'accent était d'abord mis sur l'exécution d'un programme de timbres de fentanyl destiné aux participants à risque élevé de surdose d'opioïdes dans l'ensemble de Campbell River, de la vallée de Comox et de Port Hardy à l'égard de qui les interventions actuelles en matière de réduction des méfaits et de traitement étaient inadéquates ou inaccessibles.
Expected Results
Targeted stakeholders and Canadians access evidence-informed information related to substance use and are equipped with the capacity (knowledge, skills and supports) to inform their decisions and actions related to substance use.
Expected Results (French)
Les intervenants et les Canadiens ciblés ont accès à des renseignements fondés sur des données probantes concernant la consommation de substances et ont la capacité (connaissances, compétences et soutien) d’éclairer leurs décisions et actions en matière de consommation de substances.
