Overview
Vivent Healths Lifepoint syringe exchange program serves people who inject drugs in Austin, Texas. We accept used needles for safe disposal and provide clean, sterile syringes in exchange. We also offer safer injection supplies, Narcan and naloxone, wound care, and fentanyl test strips. Through this program, we provide harm reduction education and referrals for HIV/Hep-C testing, medical care, and treatment, depending on an individuals interest. Our service is done through mobile outreach. For updated information on our outreach schedule, please contact Vivent Health or visit our Facebook page.
