HARM REDUCTION
![Page 20: Arizona State Office of Rural Health](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020702/61fa2aad2f02802a0817f7b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WHAT DOES HARM REDUCTION DO?
Centers people who use drugs as more than their drug useand as experts on their own care.
Recognizes that drug use and recovery is complex and exists along a continuum. For some, drugs meet important needs so drug-re lated harm cannot be assumed and abstinence can be just one of many possible goals.
Aims to mee t people “where they’re at” by supporting ANY positive change.
Harm reduction does not aim to minimize real harm re lated to substance use .
