Description

WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY TO REDUCE THE HARM ASSOCIATED WITH INJECTING DRUG USE & MINIMISE THE SPREAD OF BLOOD-BORNE DISEASES

ADIO follows a Harm Reduction Philosophy. This means that we seek to reduce the harms associated with injecting drug use and related behaviours, while neither condemning nor condoning drug use.

ADIO Trust provides a public health service, funded by Health New Zealand and has been operating for 35 years.

Staff

We are a peer-based organisation with peer workers who have lived or living experience of injecting drug use. All our staff are non-judgemental and here to help. We neither condemn nor condone the use of drugs and respect where you are on your journey.

Our needle exchange service is completely confidential and anonymous.

Our Hep C service is completely confidential and covered by the Health and Disability Code.

Fees and Charges Categorisation

Free, Partial fees apply

NEEDLE EXCHANGE SERVICE:

  • All injecting equipment is free to people who inject drugs. Condoms are provided free.
  • We encourage you to bring in your used syringes and needles for safe disposal.
  • We also sell some supplies such a AA bottles and Hirudoid cream. Our retail prices of equipment are based on our not-for-profit status and being a public health service.
