Schottland. SDF statement on proposals by community activists to establish a supervised drug consumption facility
Services that offer witnessed drug consumption to people who inject drugs help protect people from the risks of public injecting. The development of such services is a rational and evidence-based response to the problems we face in Scotland – including hazardous public injecting, HIV outbreaks and a continuing high prevalence of hepatitis C. Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) has made the case and promoted understanding of such services for many years. (Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF), UK, Februar 2020)

Köln. Mobiler Drogenkonsumraum in Köln eröffnet
Seit dieser Woche nimmt das mobile Drogenhilfeangebot in Kölner Neumarktnähe seinen Betrieb auf. Ab sofort stehen auf dem Cäcilienhof in der Jabachstraße montags bis freitags zu festgelegten Zeiten zwei Fahrzeuge bereit – ein Fahrzeug, in dem Beratungen stattfinden, und ein Fahrzeug, in dem abhängige Personen unter medizinischer Aufsicht Drogen konsumieren können.
Das Fahrzeug im Cäcilienhof bietet vier Plätze, an denen drogenabhängige Menschen den Stoff spritzen oder inhalieren können. Am Beratungsfahrzeug können sie gebrauchte Spritzen gegen neue tauschen. Die mobile Drogenhilfe ist aber nur eine Übergangslösung. Eine Gruppe unter Leitung von Gesundheitsamtschef Johannes Nießen arbeite daran, „eine endgültige Lösung“ zu entwickeln. Geplant ist, dafür die bisherige Substitutionsambulanz in der Lungengasse umzubauen.
Das Angebot in den in NRW zugelassenen Drogenkonsumräumen dient der Gesundheits-, Überlebens- und Ausstiegshilfe für Drogenabhängige. Bisher stellten die 10 Standorte in Nordrhein-Westfalen insgesamt 109 Plätze für den Konsum von illegalen Substanzen wie Heroin, Kokain, Amphetaminen oder Benzodiazepinen zur Verfügung. Mit der mobilen Lösung hält Köln für drogenabhängige Menschen nun zwei Standorte mit 7 Konsumplätzen bereit. (Landesstelle Sucht in NRW, Newsletter 5/2019, 09.12.2019)

Dozens of harm reduction advocates blocked the entrances to Governor Andrew Cuomo's Midtown office on Wednesday, as they called on him to approve a city plan that would open four overdose prevention centers for New Yorkers to safely inject drugs.
The one-year pilot program, which was announced by Mayor Bill de Blasio in May of 2018, was expected to create the country's first supervised injections sites (SIFs). (The Gothamist, USA, 28.08.2019)
Portugal. Filter Video: Inside Portugal’s First Mobile Safe Consumption Site
In April of this year, Portugal, a country well known for having decriminalized all drugs in 2001, got its first safe consumption site—on wheels. It’s a brand-new, shiny white Peugeot Boxer van.
For this original Filtervideo, I spoke with Adriana Curado, a psychologist from Grupo de Ativistas em Tratamentos (GAT; Group of Activists in Treatment) and Diana Gautier, a social worker with Médicos do Mundo (MdM; Doctors of the World). The two women are co-coordinators and staff members of the Lisbon-based van, and believe that their mobile safe consumption site is a vital way to meet people who use drugs “where they’re at.” (Filter, USA, 10.06.2019, Video, 06:49)
