Article Highlights:


"A consumption and treatment services site benefits the community as a whole, as it reduces the risks of sexually transmitted blood borne infections (STBBIs), such as HIV, that can be contracted from users sharing syringes. A CTS site also reduces drug litter, like discarded syringes, and public drug use." - Dylan DeMarsh, PARN
