Merchants Quay Ireland: Homeless & Drugs Services (original) (raw)

A MSIF is a hygienic, safe, medically supervised healthcare environment where people can inject drugs, obtained elsewhere, under the supervision of trained health professionals.

It offers a compassionate, person-centred service which reduces harms associated with injecting drug use and can help people access appropriate services.

A MSIF is a vital first step in reducing harm and can help health service staff to reach and support vulnerable and marginalised people, who often do not, cannot, or no longer engage with existing health services.
