The site provides a safe place for consumption, and staff to help when/if they OD and all that good stuff...but they also give out needles that folks can take away and use. You don't HAVE to use the site. You can show up, ask for needles, walk a block away and shoot up. While it is a safe consumption site, those who go to it are not required to stay there and shoot up.
If the needles aren't allowed to leave the building (which I think is a good idea), then less people will use the site, and we're back to questioning it's worth in general.
