- Title
A Short Reply to the 'Epistemology of Harm Reduction'.
- Authors
Paylor, Ian
- Abstract
This short reply focuses on the view that the dominant discourse surrounding drug use creates difficulties in offering harm reduction for those who are not currently in recovery. Recovery as the dominant political discourse provides structural barriers to harm-reduction intervention at the front line level, placing greater emphasis on getting individuals into recovery, whilst providing more services aimed specifically at reducing drug use. This short reply argues that what is required is a renewed strategy, dedicated to removing the barriers to well-being, lending equal attention to both recovery and harm reduction.
