San Francisco, CA – In a controversial move, San Francisco has approved the opening of two safe injection sites aimed at reducing drug overdoses and providing resources for recovery. The sites, set to open later this year, will be staffed by medical professionals and counselors.
Critics argue the program could encourage drug use, but supporters point to evidence from similar programs worldwide that have saved lives and connected people to treatment. “This is about harm reduction,” said Mayor Alvarez. “We can’t ignore the crisis in our streets.”
