Other services will continue to be offered at Safe Health Site Timmins

TIMMINS — Two years after the doors to Timmins' first supervised injection site opened, the core service of the facility is ending.

Safe Health Site Timmins opened in July 2022 and was funded by the City of Timmins for its first 1.5 years. When that funding expired, Timmins and District Hospital stepped up to fund it. The CMHA says that people using the SHST should use the National Overdose Response Service Hotline at 1-888-688- 6677. They also advise people no to use alone and always carry Naloxone.

SHST is a place for people to use previously obtained drugs in the presence of trained medical staff and connect to services.
