Temporary overdose prevention site a small piece of much larger puzzle
We’re starting to learn what a temporary overdose prevention site in Red Deer will look like.
Announced earlier this month by Health Minister Sarah Hoffman, the site will consist of an ATCO trailer placed next to the Safe Harbour Society building at 5246 53 Ave.
On the inside, the trailer will appear much like a supervised consumption site, with four booths where injections take place – and it will be staffed. It is the same trailer previously used for a supervised consumption site at Calgary’s Sheldon Chumir Health Centre.
