Lorain, Harm Reduction Clinic

Reports and studies all agree that harm reduction programs can lower the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. They don’t make more people start using drugs. Also, many studies show that these programs can make it easier for people to join treatment programs and make healthier life choices.
