Phil asked Corri to define a safe consumption site. Corri explained that safe consumption sites are places where people who use substances can come and be supervised by a medical professional while they are injecting or using their drugs. They also mentioned that safe consumption sites provide sterile supplies and naloxone, and can connect people to other services.
Safe consumption sites have been shown to be effective in reducing overdose deaths and other harms associated with drug use. Studies have found that safe consumption sites can also reduce HIV and hepatitis C transmission, and improve people's access to treatment and other services.
Despite the evidence of their effectiveness, safe consumption sites remain controversial. Some people oppose them because they believe that they enable drug use. However, supporters of safe consumption sites argue that they are a harm reduction measure that can save lives and improve people's health.
