Infographic. Location & Number of DCR throughout Europe
For more than 30 years, Drug Consumption Rooms (DCRs) have been implemented in Western countries. These services typically aim to reduce overdose-related morbidity and mortality, prevent the spread of infectious diseases and provide access to a broad range of medical and social support services. As frontline, low-threshold services, DCRs are also often among the first sites where insights into new drug use patterns can, and they, therefore, play an important role in the early identification of new and emerging drug trends. In addition, DCRs may also aim to reduce drug use in public and improve public amenities. (Correlation – European Harm Reduction Network, Amsterdam, 06.03.2024)
