Overdose Prevention and Response​ emphasizes engaging directly with people who use drugs to promote health and wellness. 

Goals of harm reduction in Maryland: 

• Ensure that people who use drugs have access to compassionate, quality care that is free from stigma 
• Provide person-centered, comprehensive, and community-based services 
• Make sure that trauma, criminal or legal involvement, and racism do not determine one's health outcomes or quality of life​​​​
