| Résumé : | The goals associated with the establishment of safe injection facilities are to reduce the incidence of bloodborne disease transmission, overdoses and public nuisance associated with injection drug use; to improve the general health of IDUs; and to increase their use of appropriate primary health care and social services. Typically, safe injection facilities achieve these goals by supervising injections in a controlled setting to ensure safety and quick response to overdoses; providing sterile injecting equipment and condoms, and collecting used needles and syringes; providing information on safer sex and injecting practices; providing counselling, primary health care and, in some cases, food; and maintaining and improving contact with marginalized IDUs and facilitating their reintegration into society through referral to various drug treatment services.
