Wouldn’t it make more sense to tie safe supply to rehab? Not necessarily in terms of cutting off drug use, but more in terms of reintegration with society. Right now it seems like they just provide the supply and hope for the best?
I would say the issue with that is that you then limit the safe supply to people who are ready to try and quit. The goal of safe supply is specifically to mitigate the harm being done by adulterated drugs so limiting the scope of people who can access it in this way would negatively impact the overall goal of the program.
