There has been plenty of research on how much drug overdoses and the addiction rate have increased over the past thirty-plus years. Over the years, building supervised injection sites was an idea to lower the risk of overdose. A person may think. How does having supervised injection clinics impact the world? This essay will provide a background of what a supervised injection site is. What are some advantages and disadvantages of these types of sites is.
Supervised injection sites aim to provide a safe environment for individuals to administer drugs. With sterile syringes and tourniquets. The site does not supply the drugs for them. Also, the clinicians are there to lower the risk of potential overdose. Some facilities provide education of how to correctly use intravenous needles. The first supervised injection site was built in Bern, Switzerland in 1986. The most recent facility was built in the year of 2016 in Canada. As of now there are no Supervised Injection Sites in the United States.
SIS’s benefits are reduced violent behavior after injections have been administered. Women sometimes have been robbed or raped while on the streets after taking drugs. Some individuals feel safer administering drugs in a supervised injection site due to the danger of being forced to share drugs with another person, lowering the risk of transmitting HIV or Hepatitis C. It also provides a safe environment and injects drugs safely. Some people can rush an injection and almost overdose or scar their veins. A minute of administering drugs in public places can also risk people getting arrested while under the influence. Studies have shown that some facilities offer detox treatment, and some people have completed programs to overcome addiction.
Some disadvantages of a supervised injection site are that most SIS are not open for twenty-four hours, which can cause people to experience withdrawal symptoms. Then can lead them to make a wrong decision. The wait time can be longer than expected people can become angry and try to administer outside the facility, which could cause them to be arrested. The SIS does not allow individuals to inject with another person. In some cases, people cannot inject themselves. The SIS may turn them away. Couples would be separated, which could cause a disturbance. Individuals with disabilities who cannot administer drugs alone cannot ask for help from staff. Some people may want to stay and sleep, which sites do not allow.
The United States has researched over the years to show how much drug addiction has affected the world.
