On this episode of Road to Recovery host James Sutton is joined by Sam Rivera, Executive Director at OnPoint NYC to discuss harm reduction services, overdose prevention, lifesaving safer drug use and addiction treatment centers.
OnPoint NYC is a New York City nonprofit that operates two privately-run Overdose Prevention Centers sites in East Harlem and Washington Heights.
OnPoint NYC vigorously advocates for social justice and strives to address adverse outcomes among people who use drugs or engage in sex work by providing the resources, tools, and support they need to enhance the quality of their lives and live with dignity. They seek to combat stigma and invite people who use drugs to participate meaningfully in society, instead of pushing them to the margin.
