InSite - Harm Reduction Therapy

Our first segment will be about InSite, North America's only safe injection facility. InSite is located in Vancouver, BC Canada. Research shows that not only does InSite prevent overdose fatalities, but also that clients who engage with InSite are far more likely to make use of detox and treatment facilities than those who do not.

Our second guest is Patt Denning PhD, who is the author of "Over the Influence" and "Practicing Harm Reduction Psychotherapy" as well as a director at the Harm Reduction Therapy Center in San Francisco and Oakland. Dr. Denning's work has revolutionized the way we approach drug and alcohol problems.

Stanton Peele joins us to close the show for the week.
