Addressing the Drug Overdose Epidemic: Best Practices for Opening Overdose Prevention Sites

With over 100,000 drug-involved overdose deaths in 2023 alone and gaps in access to treatment and other services for people who use drugs (PWUD), comprehensive strategies are needed to address the drug-overdose epidemic. Overdose Prevention Sites (OPS), also known as safe injection or safe consumption sites, can save lives, improve health outcomes for PWUD, and enhance quality of life for surrounding communities. These sites provide a safe location for people to use drugs while supervised by medical professionals and trained staff who can immediately respond to signs of overdose.
