Harm Reduction

What is Harm Reduction?

The ADPC Harm Reduction Committee aligns with the National Harm Reduction Coalition and defines harm reduction as a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences of substance use. Also, that harm reduction is a movement for social justice built on a belief in and respect for the rights of people who use drugs.
The harm reduction policies, strategies, interventions and practices supported by the ADPC Harm Reduction Committee will center people with lived and living experience of substance use, especially those from marginalized communities. Lastly, the strategies, practices, and interventions supported will meet and engage people who are using substances where they are without judgement, stigma, racism, or discrimination.






Meet the ADPC Harm Reduction Committee

The ADPC Harm Reduction Committee collaborates closely with ADPC staff and other partners to prevent and reduce substance use disorder related harms in Oregon. 

Harm reduction is a key pillar in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Overdose Prevention Strategy: Harm Reduction​. Harm reduction is recognized by DHHS as an evidence-based approach critical to engaging with people who use drugs and equipping them with life-saving tools and information to create positive change in their lives and potentially save their lives. The DHHS Overdose Prevention Strategy calls for expansion and greater access to harm reduction interventions, including better integration of harm reduction into general medical care.​​​​​​
