Injecting Advice
Injecting without drugs
What do you do when someone come into an NSP who isn’t injecting drugs, this week I’d like to talk abit about someone I recently saw who has a different reason for injecting.

Self detox
his handout is designed to help people stop using heroin without the need for a substitute script.There are many reasons people chose to self detox, and over the years I've used versions of this handout with lots of people who tell me its helpful.
Overdose workshop
Each year we lose far too many people to overdose (lets face it, one person dead is 'too many') so I decided it was about time I wrote a new workshop to try and help address the situation.
This latest workshop covers a range of overdose issues and has been designed to be run either as a full workshop, or as separate sections in NSP or one to one sessions.
Heroin drought poster
There has been a heroin drought in the UK (and elsewhere) since last November, as any heroin users and drugs workers will already know.
There are many related risks to this, not least of which is what happens when the purer heroin returns (which some areas are already saying is starting to happen). I've made a poster an leaflet highlighting some of these issues. You are (as always on this site) free to download and use these as you see fit.
