Are there any stats that show how many lives such places save, or provide a path to rehabilitation? Because it just looks like a path to enabling, at the expense of everyone.

First off, what do you mean by work? If you mean reduce deaths, overdoses, and disease, yes they work.
Second, a lot of these sites are incredibly under-resourced and over-stretched, so as I said before, they can only do so much with what they have managed to eke out from city and provincial budgets, plus what concessions they have managed to get from NIMBYs and other locals opposed to their existence on principle.
