County Durham Needle Exchange

What is it?

To reduce the amount of equipment sharing for people injecting drugs, many hubs and pharmacies offer a safe place to dispose of and replace used injection equipment.

Is this service confidential?

The needle exchange service is completely confidential, non-judgemental and supports people to reduce high-risk injecting to protect your health.
