Challenges Inc SC - Drug User Health

Providing access to safer using supplies in South Carolina is our foundation. We support the right for people who use drugs to have safe supplies and access to low barrier healthcare to minimize risks associated with injection drug use.

Why?

Studies show that participants of a program like ours are 5x more likely to enter into treatment and 3x more likely to stop using drugs than those who are not. These prevention services also decrease the spread of diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C by up to 80%. The use of naloxone, buprenorphine, and syringe access are all evidence based practices preferred and recommended by the CDC and SAMHSA as a key strategy for fighting the opioid overdose crisis.
