Harm Reduction
We work from a philosophy of harm reduction, acknowledging that the only way to avoid all problems with drugs is to avoid drugs, but if a choice is made to use drugs there are steps that can be taken to reduce harm (see links above).
The most effective way to start to reduce harm around drug use is to know as much as possible about the substance that you are using.
We also have a First Aid section which explains how to look after someone who’s ill through drugs and alcohol
