DCRs also supply equipment for drug use and a wide range of other services, including social, medical and mental health care and support, either onsite or through a referral system.<\/p>\n<p>The primary concern and goal of DCRs is that of supporting the health and well-being of people who use drugs; for instance, by preventing overdose mortality, providing primary physical and mental healthcare, reducing transmission of communicable diseases and enabling testing.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are DCRs successful health interventions, but they also have a positive impact on wider healthcare by decreasing the strain on ambulance services and in reducing long-term health consequences and costs.<\/p>\n<p>DCRs minimise risks and harms resulting from the &#8216;risk environments&#8217; that people who use drugs experience as a consequence of physical, social, economic and policy factors while additionally reducing drug use in public spaces and perceived public nuisance.<\/p>\n<p>While these aims are fundamental, the harm reduction potential of DCRs is not only limited to offering a space to safely use drugs and to reduce drug use in public. Low-threshold DCRs also promote voluntary access to other types of support (health, housing, social, economic, and legal services) which might otherwise be too high- threshold for their clients to access.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can read the full report, titled: &#8220;Creating Safer Consumption Spaces in Europe: Evolving Contexts and Implications for Policy&#8221; below:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/correlation-net.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024_Creating-Safer-Consumption-Spaces-in-Europe_Policy-Advocacy-Brief.pdf\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/07\/2024-creating-safer-consumption-spaces-in-europe-policy-advocacy-brief-1.jpg\" alt=\"2024_Creating-Safer-Consumption-Spaces-in-Europe_Policy-Advocacy-Brief-1\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1035\" width=\"800\" title=\"2024_Creating-Safer-Consumption-Spaces-in-Europe_Policy-Advocacy-Brief-1\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h2>\n\t\tMore resources on Drug Consumption Rooms\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euda.europa.eu\/publications\/technical-reports\/2023\/drug-consumption-rooms_en\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/07\/emcdda-dcr-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"emcdda_dcr\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"2560\" width=\"1810\" title=\"emcdda_dcr\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>A main aim of this report by the EMCDDA and C-EHRN is to inform discussions on drug consumption rooms (DCRs) by examining the available evidence, as well as reviewing the various models being adopted and their characteristics.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.euda.europa.eu\/publications\/mini-guides\/health-and-social-responses-drug-consumption-rooms_en\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drogriporter.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/07\/emcdda-2-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"emcdda_2-1\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"2560\" width=\"1810\" title=\"emcdda_2-1\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<p>This page by the European Union Drugs Agency provides an overview of key issues related to drug consumption rooms, including service delivery, guidance and existing evidence and latest developments in Europe.
