Harm reduction is under attack—and when harm reduction loses, people die. “Treatment First/Only” promises a simple fix, but addiction isn’t a light switch that a person can turn off. In this urgent episode, we break down what actually saves lives: treatment + harm reduction + housing. We cover overdose prevention centers (supervised consumption), syringe services programs (SSP), methadone and MAT, xylazine wounds/amputations, and real Housing First with wraparound care—plus why closing services creates more funerals, not safety.

Today’s guest is Alixe Dittmore, Housing & Shelter Capacity Building Coordinator at the National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC). Real talk from Kensington to San Francisco—evidence over politics.
