Since opening its doors in 2003, Insite has been a safe, health-focused place where people inject drugs and connect to health care services from primary care to treat disease and infection, to addiction counselling and treatment, to housing and community supports. Insite is North America's first legal supervised injection site. Insite operates on a harm-reduction model, which means it strives to decrease the adverse health, social and economic consequences of drug use without requiring abstinence from drug use.
