Our Fife Harm Reduction service

We offer a range of free and confidential advice, information and testing.

Our service is not just for people who inject heroin or cocaine. We can also support those who use, or are about to start using, steroids or other performance or image enhancing drugs, and any other psychoactive drugs, chemicals, plants or medicines.

  • Drug use advice
  • Clean injecting equipment and safer injecting advice
  • Hepatitis and HIV testing
  • Naloxone provision and training
  • Supported referral into treatment

How we can help

We'll give you information on the effects of various substances to empower you to make informed decisions. 

For anyone who injects drugs, we provide new, sterile injecting equipment to help keep you safe. 

We offer this service from our service at The Grieg Institute, Forth Street, Leven, KY8 4PF. 

You don't need an appointment. You can just walk in and get what you need.

We also operate a harm reduction van that moves around Fife. Please phone to find out when we’ll be in your area.

Alongside providing you with new equipment, our staff will be able to talk you through the different equipment options available to you and give you a demonstration on safer injecting techniques.

They are also happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss ways to help you stay safe. 

Blood borne viruses (BBVs) are viruses (such as HIV and Hepatitis) that spread through blood, and in some cases, bodily fluids. 

If you attend one of our drug or alcohol services, you will be offered a free BBV test. 

The naloxone injection (Prenoxad) and nasal spray (Nyxoid) are life saving substances that can prevent overdose. They work by reversing the effects of opioid drugs such as heroin, morphine and methadone. 

We can provide people who use substances, as well as their family members and friends, with free naloxone kits and training on how to respond to an overdose.
