Risk Mitigation: Syringe Service Programs

Syringe service programs (SSPs) help prevent overdoses, prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and link people to treatment centers.

People who access syringe service programs are more likely to enter treatment for substance use than those who do not. They provide trainings on how to prevent, recognize, respond to, and reverse a drug overdose. They also provide infectious disease prevention equipment and collect used syringes to help keep neighborhoods safe.

Syringe service programs are available across the state.
