The GCSTOP Syringe Exchange Program provides clean needles and equipment, fentanyl test kits, access to Narcan and training, access to suboxone and methadone, case management, detox and treatment referrals, and access to a registered nurse. According to the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition, “Syringe exchange programs are one of the most effective public health interventions for decreasing the transmission rates of HIV and other blood borne diseases such as hepatitis C, as well as connect users to treatment and other important needs such as housing or food assistance.”
