Harm Reduction in Worcestershire
Harm Reduction is a core and critical theme in the delivery
of drug treatment. In the broadest sense harm reduction
approaches and activity are about working to reduce the health,
social and economic disadvantage and negative impact to
individuals, families and communities caused by problematic use of
substances. More specifically it is about reducing the direct
risks associated with drug use to the individual drug user.
