Application Process
Drop in:
Needle exchange clients are set up with an ID (consisting of their first, middle, and last initial, month and year of birth) which helps APSS keep track of the needles exchanged and stats. The number of needles or pipes brought in can be exchanged back, but APSS can also give a 10 pack of needles and/or one pipe (crack/meth) a day. APSS also offers a range of drug supplies such as sterile water and cookers and safe sex supplies to help reduce the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C.
For needle exchange outside working hours, contact the Street Project Van at 306-766-7799.
