Philosophy of Harm Reduction

Recognizing that the path to recovery is different for everyone, Clean Slate embraces a harm reduction philosophy. This approach meets patients where they are, offering support without judgment. The complex nature of addiction requires flexible, patient-centered care, allowing individuals to progress at their own pace.

• Low Threshold Interventions: Treatment access is made simple and barrier-free, with no judgments regarding a patient’s readiness to quit. This allows individuals to engage in treatment without feeling pressured to achieve immediate abstinence.
• Narcan Availability: Narcan, a life-saving overdose reversal medication, is provided to at-risk patients, ensuring their safety throughout treatment.
• Continuous Support: Even if a patient experiences a relapse or tests positive for drugs during treatment, Clean Slate remains dedicated to their recovery journey. Treatment is not terminated due to setbacks, and ongoing support is provided to encourage long-term recovery.
• Tolerance Toward THC: Clean Slate understands that recovery is a process. Rather than discharging patients for testing positive for THC, the focus remains on overall progress, supporting individuals at every stage of recovery.
• Comprehensive Care Coordination: Beyond addiction treatment, Clean Slate assists patients with essential services like housing, employment, transportation, and access to food stamps. This full range of support helps patients build a foundation for lasting recovery.
• Referrals and Resources: Patients needing additional services are connected to resources such as needle exchanges, safe injection sites, and fentanyl test strips. This ensures a comprehensive care network for those at various stages of recovery.

Treatment Programs

Clean Slate Centers offer a wide range of specialized programs designed to address the individual needs of their patients.
