View our video (17.0 MB) on how Insite will operate and how it will serve the Downtown East Side.

Clients who enter the SIS are assessed and led through a waiting area to a 12-seat injection room where they can inject their own drugs under the supervision of trained medical staff. They will have access to clean injection equipment including spoons, tourniquets and water, aimed at reducing the spread of infectious diseases.

After injecting, they move to a post-injection room where, if appropriate, staff can connect clients with other on-site services. These include primary care for the treatment of wounds, abscesses and other infections; addiction counseling and peer support; and referral to treatment services such as withdrawal management, opiate replacement therapy and other services.

Along with the on-site coordinator, two registered nurses are present at all times with an addiction counselor and physician support available on-call. Program assistants from our partner, the PHS Community Services Society, help greet and register people, as well as provide peer contact to encourage safe injection practices and orientate drug users to use the site.

The SIS can accommodate up to several hundred injections each day as part of the scientific research pilot project, although the experience at similar sites in Australia and Europe suggest the user community will take a while to accept the concept of a legal injection facility site. Utilization statistics are available on-line.

“Anyone concerned about the failure of our $69 billion-a-year War on Drugs should watch this 12-minute program. You will meet front line, ranking police officers who give us a devastating report on why it cannot work. It is a must-see for any journalist or public official dealing with this issue.”

En ganske aldeles glimrende oplysningsdokumentarfilm omkring den afrikanske rodbarkplante ”Ibogaine” der i syntetiseret form anvendes ceremonielt og som rituelt rusmiddel ved en slags konfirmationsritual på tærsklen til voksenlivet i Afrika og som terapeutisk virkemiddel ved alternativ stoffri behandling i den vestlige verden, hvor virkestoffet i Ibogaine har vist sig at være i stand til at slette kroppens erindring om opiatafhængighed og vores erfaring viser endvidere, at årtiers tobakshunger, som en slags sidegevinst, også kan forsvinde.

The drug Naloxone is used to reverse heroin overdoses. It’s been used by paramedics and emergency rooms for several years. And it is also being distributed directly to drug addicts by the several agencies, including the Chicago Recovery Alliance. Independent producer Dan Collison spent an evening on the streets of Chicago with the organization’s health workers discovering how Naxolone works.

Follow the Money a Cautionary Story

Follow the Money a Cautionary Story


Seizing drug traffickers’ money is a key strategy in the war on drugs. But narco dollars increasingly have become intermingled in legitimate businesses through money laundering schemes like the black market peso-dollar exchange. So tracking drug money can catch the wrong people–as this report shows.

The Narco-Juniors

The Narco-Juniors:

 TheArellano-Felix Organization (AFO) is North America’s most violent drug trafficking cartel. Based out of Tijuana, Mexico, for over a decade they’ve shipped tons of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine into the U.S. Annual revenues are into the hundreds of millions of dollars says the FBI.

AFO’s innovative strategy is befriending and recruiting ‘juniors’-young, educated men of middle-and upper-class families living on both sides of the San Diego-Tijuana border. AFO uses them as drug runners and hit men. ‘Juniors’ get involved with the cartel not necessarily to become wealthy but for “la fama”–the fame of the gangster life. This is the story of what happened to one of these young men, told by his family and a fellow ‘junior.’
