These options include Crisis Stabilization, Inpatient Treatment, Sober Living, Opioid Treatment Programs (such as Methadone and Suboxone), Primary Healthcare, and Mental Health Providers. If we come across a suitable resource, we’ll connect you with them directly.

  • Peer Support: Peer Support from both Certified Peer Specialists and our Harm Reduction Specialists, all of whom have have lived/living experience with substance use and other identities marginalized or criminalized by stigma, poor policy, or moral judgment.

  • Groups: We offer a mosaic of community peer support meetings across a spectrum of topics. Some are broad and encompassing while some are focused and specific on unique intersections of identity and behavior. We’re adding many more as we go in 2024…

No ID necessary. All syringe services are 100% confidential and free. We log a small amount of info for data collection such as initials and birth year to create Unique ID’s — choose any initials you’d like, just try to remember the same ones every time ;) Those tiny bits of data plus some other random numbers to represent demographics get scrambled and create a de-identified “Unique ID” that preserves your privacy so our funders get insights into our work and how we’re we’re doing on fulfilling our mission programs with their money.

We look forward to working with you.
