Recommendation 8
8
Safer drug consumption facilities are complementary tools, not substitutes for recovery services.
Conclusion
It is also clear to us that SDCFs must not come at the cost of funding current recovery services. It is not an ‘either/or’. Rather, SDCFs are just one tool available to combat problem drug use, which is complementary to, and works in tandem with, recovery services. (Conclusion, Paragraph 84)
