Thrive for Change is excited to launch the first mail-based syringe service program (SSP) in Ohio in partnership with The Centers Harm Reduction Team. The program is just getting started allowing us to serve 25 people per month. Thrive for Change will be prioritizing people with the greatest needs and highest risk factors; due to limited supplies, not every application may be accepted.
Before applying to our program, please explore the pre-existing harm reduction services in your area. Existing SSPs in your area may be excellent resources to receive critical materials, supplies and services like syringe and pipe access, wound care, testing for bloodborne illness. In–person harm reduction services can provide support mail-based services are unable to provide.
If you don’t have transportation or face another barrier, but live near an existing syringe exchange program, please let us know and we will work to connect you with the program closest to you.
