No overdose deaths, decreasing needle debris, decreasing crime year over year, and increasing referrals from all sites.
Most posters in this thread are trading on a very narrow type of fear-mongering, and obviously, ignore the enormous pile of data that the SCS/SIS model is a tremendously successful front-line public health service. We should be investing more in these sites, expanding the number of treatment beds, and building accessible housing all across the province.
