Résumé
This initiative provided pharmaceutical-grade prescribed alternatives (safer supply) medications (opioid/OAT/stimulant) to address the overdose risk posed by the toxic illegal drug market. It included outreach, medication delivery and fixed site services, including services and a safe and secure outdoor space for People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) by inhalation, with an emphasis on current gaps in the service continuum. The project also served as a point of entry to wraparound health and social services including primary and addiction care.

This initiative provided pharmaceutical-grade prescribed alternatives (safer supply) medications (opioid/OAT/stimulant) to address the overdose risk posed by the toxic illegal drug market. It included outreach, medication delivery and fixed site services, including services and a safe and secure outdoor space for People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) by inhalation, with an emphasis on current gaps in the service continuum. The project also served as a point of entry to wraparound health and social services including primary and addiction care.
Description (French)
Cette initiative a fourni des médicaments de qualité pharmaceutique (opioïdes, TAO, stimulants) comme solutions de rechange prescrite (approvisionnement plus sécuritaire) pour réduire les risques de surdose liés à l’approvisionnement en drogues illégales toxiques. Elle comprenait des services de proximité, la livraison de médicaments et des services sur place, y compris un espace extérieur sécuritaire destiné aux personnes qui consomment des drogues par inhalation, avec un accent sur les lacunes actuelles dans le continuum de services. Le projet servait également de point d’entrée vers des services de santé et des services sociaux globaux, notamment des soins primaires et dans le domaine des dépendances.

Expected Results (French)
