- What is Safer Supply?
-
A safe, consistent dose is best to manage treatment outcomes for those accessing restricted substances for therapeutic purposes. Safe supply means that these naturally-sourced medicines meet the same standards as all other approved pharmaceuticals, namely cGMP standards. Patients deserve the same level of transparency and accountability that any other approved medicine is required to have.
- Why is Safer Supply needed?
-
According to the BC Coroners Service, 84% of Unregulated Drug Deaths in BC have involved Fentanyl contaminations in 2023 so far. June 2023 has had a 17% increase in Unregulated Drug Deaths compared to June 2022, to the amount of 6.1 deaths per day on average. The BCCC has also stated that prescribed Safer Supply has not contributed to the number of deaths. Having a Safe Supply of controlled substances is essential to saving lives.
- Why is awareness of the Toxic Drug Crisis important for everyone?
-
According to the Government of Canada, “just under half (48%) of accidental apparent opioid toxicity deaths so far in 2023 (January-March) also involved a stimulant.” Awareness of stimulant-related deaths is important because those who use drugs only to mark a special occasion or event may think that occasional use has little health consequences, but because of the Toxic Drug Crisis, most stimulants are poly-substance and may also contain opioids like fentanyl: “Among accidental stimulant-related poisoning hospitalizations so far in 2023 (January-March), 62% involved co-poisoning with an opioid.” In “…stimulant-related poisoning hospitalizations, fentanyl and its analogues were involved in 40% of accidental stimulant-related poisoning hospitalizations.”
- Who supports Safer Supply?
-
Given the substantial amount of evidence-based research, the call for Safer Supply comes from numerous reputable sources, including:
- The First Nations Health Authority
the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police - the Federal Government of Canada
- the Chief Coroner of BC
- BC’s Provincial Health Officer
- BC Center for Disease Control
- The First Nations Health Authority
