Injecting Drug Use - Part 2

Injecting Drug Use - Part 2

*Some listeners may find some of the content in this episode distressing or triggering. Please take care while listening, and be aware this episode is intended for informational and harm reduction purposes*

In the second part of this episode, Rob is joined by Sian (Barod's Operations Manager), Katie (DDAS Active Treatment Worker) and Jamie (Barod's Swansea Service Manager). Part 2 of this episode focuses on some of the myths associated with injecting drug use, why people inject and how best to engage with people who inject drugs.

We also explore why stigma often intensifies towards people who inject drugs, compared to other routes of administration. It is also discussed why needle and syringe programmes have seen a significant drop in the amount of people accessing such harm reduction services in Wales and what issues this may cause, as well as highlighting key harm reduction tips when injecting drugs.

If you have been affected by the issues discussed in this episode, please visit barod.cymru and confidentially chat to a trained support worker via Barod's Live Webchat Service, that is open 7-days a week, or call Dan 24/7, Wales' national drug and alcohol helpline on 0808 808 2234.
