Who Am I to Tell You Not to Use Drugs? | Huset Bergen – A Peer-Led Harm Reduction House in Norway

István Gábor Takács

In Bergen, on Norway’s rainy western coast, Huset Bergen — a three-storey harm reduction centre — is run entirely by people with lived and living experience of drug use. Drugreporter joined Arild Knutsen from the Association for Humane Drug Policy to explore this bold model and found something striking: not resistance, but broad community support — from neighbours to bankers and politicians. Watch our new documentary on the future of peer-led drug services.
