It's difficult to prove categorically that harm reduction works, as other social and medical interventions change the statistical model, but every indication is it has reduced HIV and Hep rates drastically in the DTES, we know clearly that Insite has dealt over 6500 overdoses, not all of them would have resulted in death but you have to assume if there was no widely available Narcan (another massive part of harm reduction) and those poor souls OD on the street half of them would be dead, 3000 less dead is a success where I come from
