Just have this come from their prescription pad: the medicalization of safer supply from the perspectives of health planners in BC, Canada

Health planners recognized and often problematized the over-medicalized nature of current safer supply models. Challenges with medicalization include privileging dominant ideologies (e.g. biomedicine), exerting social control, and perpetuating inequities. Greater attention to the relationships between harm reduction, medical, and criminal justice models in drug policy is needed to avoid compromises of medicalization within criminalization. Grassroots harm reduction may be critical in advancing safer supply beyond medical models.
