Skagit County Public Health’s Mobile Syringe Exchange program aims to reduce health risks among adult drug users and the community at large. The program offers one-for-one needle exchange, which helps prevent the transmission of blood-borne diseases, such as HIV and Hepatitis C, and reduces the number of contaminated needles in our community and the public waste system. In addition to sterile syringes, the program hands out safe disposal containers and naloxone kits, and provides education, intervention, and referrals to behavioral health services, including treatment for substance use disorders.
