Summary
In the face of over 100,000 overdose deaths throughout the U.S. last year, New York City opened the nation’s first safe consumption sites. Trained professionals monitor drug use and intervene to prevent deaths from overdose. The sites are predictably divisive, drawing intense criticism and praise alike, but behind that debate lies a long list of crucial unknowns. Will the sites enable addiction or guide users toward recovery? Will it compound harms to the community or help alleviate the social burden of the opioid epidemic? One thing is clear: these sites are saving lives. But what are the lasting impacts of this audacious experiment? The Lost Debate brings you a special report from inside the nation’s first legal safe consumption site.
