The United State’s First Supervised Drug Injection Site in San Francisco
This summer, San Francisco is on track to open two supervised injection sites that will serve around 22,000 people in the Bay Area. These sites were unanimously voted for by the local Health Commission, whose ultimate goal is to equip these facilities with clean needles, medical staff trained in responding to overdose or other medical emergencies, and resources for people who want treatment: all in order to help end the opioid epidemic.
