LifePoint

The Vivent Health Lifepoint program provides free syringes and safer injection supplies to people who inject drugs, as well as safe disposal of used syringes.

Formerly known as Austin Harm Reduction Coalition, the Lifepoint Program promotes health and wellness for people who use drugs by providing free syringe exchange and safer injection supplies. For more than 25 years, our Lifepoint program has been a national leader in promoting the health of people who use drugs and empowers them to take control of their health and wellness. We are dedicated to harm reduction and providing judgement-free care to people who use drugs.

Ever wondered how to use Fentanyl Test Strips properly?

DanceSafe gives three great methods for testing your stuff right here:https://dancesafe.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/DS-fentanly-instruction-2020.pdf

As fentanyl infiltrates our supply, testing before you partake is a great way to stay safer!
