No bull harm reduction.

Welcome to Triangle Points. We serve the Triangle region of North Carolina, including Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh, and everyone around these parts. On this website you will find honest and objective answers to questions about drug use in North Carolina, information on how to stay safe and how to get help. We offer information for everybody, from current drug users to doctors to concerned family members to law enforcement.

We also provide free disease prevention kits (100% legal) for individuals and local service providers who have clients that inject. Kits contain sterile water, alcohol swabs, adhesive bandages, antibiotic ointment, and more. We provide options for safe disposal of used syringes, including picking up dirty syringes from public spaces. We also help law enforcement officers and santitation and parks workers obtain protective gloves to prevent needle-stick injuries on the job.

"Harm reduction. . .emphasises tolerance, respect for the personal choices of others and respect for human rights. It favours evidence over anecdote, courage over cowardice and doing what is right even if it seems to send out the 'wrong message.' It means doing what has to be done to protect the public health in the face of opposition from all quarters because it is the right thing to do." -- P. O'Hare, International Harm Reduction Association, quoted in Irwin & Fry, International Journal of Drug Policy, 18 (2007), pg. 75.

In Memory Of...

This site and this program is dedicated in the memory of Anthony "Red" Givens. Tony was a champion of treating people with dignity and respect, no matter where they were in their lives.

This site is also dedicated in respectful memory of all those who have become lost to us, through drug use and the harms associated with drug use.
