Does Harm Reduction Encourage Drug Use?

Harm reduction means reducing the negative outcomes of drug use without judgment. It includes everything from providing clean supplies and overdose prevention tools to helping people access care on their own terms.

It doesn’t encourage drug use — it acknowledges that people use drugs and helps them be more safe. Whether you’re looking to protect yourself or support someone else, harm reduction is a practical, life-saving approach.

The goal is simple: keep people alive and connected to support.
