San Francisco Public Press reports on the city’s reluctance to allow overdose prevention centers, despite evidence that they work – as shown by OnPoint NYC’s successes. “Previous plans called for allowing nonprofits to fund safe consumption sites for people grappling with substance use disorders — often associated with fentanyl and other highly addictive opioids — but San Francisco officials have gone nearly silent on the topic,” the article notes.
“Sam Rivera, OnPoint NYC’s executive director, says the overdose prevention center is not only saving lives but also helping clients reconnect with loved ones and become employable.”
