Drugs Legally Injected in Canada

In Vancouver, British Columbia, there is a safe drug injection center called InSite, which claims to "save lives." This facility is for drug addicts to come in and shoot drugs and not risk arrest. There are a total of 12 injection booths that approximately 800 people use on a daily basis. Some addicts stop by two or three times a day. The atmosphere of the center has been classified as clinical, with fluorescent lighting and mirrors. Medical staff are always on hand and watching. They sometimes assist the addicts in finding the right vein to shoot into, but their main task is to step in when users overdose. Steve, a regular visitor of the center, has overdosed three different times. This center provides clean needles, which can stop the spread of HIV and Hepatitis, and a safe place to inject, but are addicts really getting better by getting told to shoot more drugs?
