Challenges Inc SC - Drug User Health

Providing access to safer use 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. Our mobile unit travels all over the Upstate of SC. Visit our Services page to learn more about our syringe services in South Carolina.

Outcomes

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.
