At ARE, we are committed to promoting health and well-being through our Comprehensive Harm Reduction Services. Our goal is to reduce the adverse health, social, and economic consequences of drug use without requiring individuals to stop using substances.  Our harm reduction approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and evidence-based practices. We believe in meeting people where they are and supporting them in making informed choices about their health and well-being. Our services are designed to reduce harm, promote safety, and improve the quality of life for individuals and communities.

Our Services Include:

• Syringe Exchange Programs: Providing sterile needles and safe disposal options to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C.
• Naloxone Distribution: Offering free naloxone kits and information on how to use them to reverse opioid overdoses and save lives.
• Substance Use Counseling: Offering confidential counseling and support to help individuals manage their substance use and explore treatment options if they choose.
• Health Services and Testing: Offering access to healthcare services, including HIV and Hepatitis testing, wound care, and referrals to medical providers.
