Kolumbien. Cali, Colombia, opens the second supervised drug consumption facility in South America
In June 2025, Cali, a city in the South West of Colombia, became the second city in South America, after Bogotá, to open a supervised drug consumption facilty for injecting drug use. The new space is part of the Centro de Acogida y Atención Integral (CAAI), run by Corporacion Viviendo, a community-based centre providing a full spectrum of harm reduction services that seeks to promote the physical, emotional and mental well-being of some of the city’s most marginalised people.
