Harm reduction treatment, and also harm reduction education, is very controversial. With regard to harm reduction, prevention is very controversial because it teaches safe use. Instead of saying don't use it; it says if you are going to use it —we're not happy about it— but use it safely. With regard to treatment, it's very much the same kind of thinking. It says, it's your choice to use drugs; we can't stop you doing that. The least harmful way of doing that is getting them legally, or injecting in an injection site using sterile equipment and so on. And that's what the whole philosophy of harm reduction oriented treatment is about: making it safe, keeping people alive, with not too many harms on their soul and their body in the time they have drug use in their lives.
