Syringe Services Program

The Hyde County Health Department provides free sterile syringes and other injection equipment including cookers, fentanyl and xylazine test strips, alcohol prep pads, band-aids, sharps containers, and naloxone to people who use drugs. The syringe exchange program distributes sterile syringes and encourages the secure disposal of used syringes to reduce sharing, reuse, and public safety risks. This program helps to reduce the risk of spreading blood-borne diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C, get people into treatment when ready, and prevent overdoses. To coordinate a drop-off or pick-up of supplies contact any of our peer support specialists, 

Please find the Security Plan for the Syringe Exchange Program at this link.
