OnPoint NYC is a pioneering organization that has made history by launching two Overdose Prevention Centers (OPCs) in New York City. As the first organization in the United States to do so, OnPoint NYC is dedicated to improving the health, safety, and well-being of marginalized individuals who use drugs or engage in sex work. They provide vital resources, tools, and support to enhance the quality of their lives and promote their participation in society, combating stigma and pushing for social justice.
With a focus on harm reduction, OnPoint NYC offers a range of services, including syringe exchange, safer drug use supply provision, education, counseling, and clinical services such as HIV and Hep-C testing. Their OPCs monitor drug consumption on-site, aiming to reduce overdose deaths and health risks associated with drug use while also addressing instances of public drug use and syringe litter in public spaces. Through their efforts, OnPoint NYC strives to create a safer, healthier, and more dignified community for all.
