Needle exchanges
Needle and syringe programmes - often referred to as needle
exchanges - are completely confidential and free to use.
Needle exchanges are key public health interventions.
They supply a variety of different sized needles and syringes
and other items, as well as providing safe disposal of used
equipment.
Traditionally used by illicit drug users, needle exchanges also
cater for people using performance or image-enhancing drugs. These
include anabolic steroids and growth hormones.
Pharmacies tend to provide pre-prepared packs, while agencies
have loose equipment you can choose from as well as information and
advice on safer injecting techniques. All provide suitable 'sharps
bins' for safe storage.
Needle exchanges can be found at
many pharmacies and agencies across West Sussex displaying the logo
to the right.
No registration is required, just turn up and ask for what you
want.
