This workshop will detail the features of a harm-reductionist framework for substance use treatment within a primary care setting. The program incorporates recovery support counselors with lived experience, trauma informed care, community feedback, patient education, addiction-focused case management, and harm reduction supplies into primary care visits for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). This program has illuminated the importance of centering lived experience and harm reduction in order to decrease stigma and increase access to medication assisted treatment for unhoused adults with OUD. An interactive component will include example materials and group discussions to generate best practices for harm reduction implementation.
