Thank you to the Delaware House for passing Senate Bill 249, which establishes a regulatory framework for substance use harm reduction programs and decriminalizes possession of paraphernalia, while retaining prohibitions for paraphernalia used in the manufacturing or distribution of drugs. The legislation now goes to Governor Meyer for his signature.

atTAcK addiction joins other nonprofits in the substance use disorder landscape in standing ready to work alongside state leaders, community organizations, health care providers, and law enforcement to ensure this framework is implemented thoughtfully, transparently, and effectively.

Our mission is simple yet poignant: The first thing is to save the life. Where there is life, there is hope.

From atTAcK addiction's earliest days of advocacy came a simple mantra: First, save the life. And that is the same today with Senate Bill 249, which establishes a regulatory framework for substance use harm reduction programs and decriminalizes possession of paraphernalia while retaining prohibitions for paraphernalia used in the manufacturing or distribution of drugs.

atTAcK addiction board member Jill Fredel joined many other advocates, including Impact Life, Hope on Deck, Face the Facts, Brandywine Counseling & Community Services, and Limen Recovery and Wellness, on Wednesday in testifying in support of the bill during a House Health & Human Development Committee hearing. "We can't hope to convince people to go to treatment if they're more worried about going to jail," she said.

Dennis Vickery, the former house manager of atTAcK addiction's men's recovery residence in Richadson Park and a person in long-term recovery, said harm reduction measures had allowed him to be a father and grandfather.

During the hearing, Committee Vice Chair Rep. DeShanna Neal said her older brother had overdosed last year and and was revived after having 20 years in recovery. "I love him and I want him to live," she said. "Saving him any way we can is why I'm here."

At the end of the hearing, the bill's sponsor, Sen. Marie Pinkney, thanked advocates and legislators for their testimony and discussion. "I'm looking to make sure people stay alive," she said.

Senate Bill 249 was voted out of committee and sent to the full House. The legislation has already passed the Senate.
