Our goal is to help individuals improve their health and find paths to recovery and rehabilitation! UHRI (Uwharrie Harm Reduction Initiative) is a Non-profit organization that reaches out and serves individuals in Stanly County and the surrounding areas that have Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Our goal is to educate our friends in issues that can improve their health and give help them find paths t
o rehabilitation. With these friends exposing themselves to high risk of hepatitis C, endocartitis (infections of the heart), HIV, and other blood borne infections, we strive to help them avoid these diseases through education, sterile products, first aid products, and leading them to paths of sobriety. We encourage them to bring used syringes to us so they can be disposed of properly and do not pose a danger to children, law enforcement, and the general population. We show our friends love and acceptance as we help them find a release from the bondage of addiction. Also through this program, we supply injection supplies to diabetics and others who use prescription medications. UHRI is located in Grace Place and our hours are:
-Tuesdays: 2pm-4pm
-Fridays: 2pm-4pm. Call 980-581-8004 or 980-287-8254 to inquire about other hours and services.
