First US overdose prevention center claims success in New York City

New York, May 27 (EFE) -(Camera: Angel Colmenares) The spacious waiting room of the first and only space in the United States for the controlled consumption of drugs looks like a lively lounge of a social center. Dozens of people watch TV or chat in a relaxed manner before or after having consumed drugs under the watchful eye of workers at one of the OnPoint NYC sites, which claims to have successfully reversed 898 overdoses.
