Harm Reduction, along with Case Management and Mental Health Services, is a cornerstone of the Ryan approach to integrated patient care in HIV Services.

Harm Reduction offers coping skills for those at risk. If you are a recovering or active drug user and are HIV infected, you can benefit from individual counseling, group meetings, stress reducing acupuncture treatment and peer education, with an emphasis on self-acceptance, exploration of personal patterns, and the development of individual initiative and readiness for change.

Harm Reduction staff also work closely with Ryan’s Programs, wherein peers assist in the various aspects of the HIV Services Program, while advancing as professionals in the health care field.

Harm Reduction services include:

• Individual Counseling

• Group Meetings

• Acupuncture Treatments

• Health Education
