Drug Safety Services

Our Drug Safety Services encompass a broad range of programs (see below) and we aim to provide a quality, confidential and non-judgemental health service. Our emphasis is on reducing the harm associated with illicit drug use - to users themselves, their friends and families, and the whole community.

NYCH Drug Safety Services operate out of :

INNERSPACE
4 Johnston Street, Collingwood

INNERSPACE is the site of our Primary Needle & Syringe Program (NSP) and Primary Health Care service for people who inject drugs.

Through this service we are able to provide health services as well as new injecting equipment and facilities for safe disposal of used injecting equipment.

INNERSPACE has facilities for cooking, showering, clothes washing and drying, or just having a cup of coffee. Other activities, at times, include art therapy, gardening, sport and recreation activities, and anger management.

Staff are available to conduct talks, workshops and training around drug related topics - such as Safe Syringe Disposal, Responding to Drug Overdose and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation - to any community groups.
