Harm reduction recognizes addiction as a disease and works to ensure people on drugs stay alive and as healthy as possible until they can receive proper treatment.
Cruz’s comments responded to a news article from a conservative publication that claimed the program providing funding for harm-reduction policies under the Biden administration would distribute crack pipes as part of safe smoking kits.
But federal officials denied claims the program would fund pipes. In a joint statement, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and National Drug Control Policy Director Rahul Gupta said their agencies are focused on “using our resources smartly” to reduce the harm and fatalities caused by drug use.
For the most part, harm reduction does not look to cure the addictions of the people served. Instead, it works to ensure people on drugs stay alive and as healthy as possible until they can receive proper treatment. Zagorski said harm reduction is economically smart — people who overdose or injure themselves while using can end up with a hospital bill that they cannot pay.opioid task force
