Case Study: Supervised consumption site at the Blood Ties Four Directions Centre

The supervised consumption site (SCS) at Blood Ties Four Directions Centre provides a safe space for people to consume their drugs by injection, snorting, swallowing or smoking. Drugs can be smoked in an indoor safer inhalation room. In addition to overdose prevention and response services, staff provide a variety of supports such as safer drug use education and referrals to community health and social services.
