Yes, as long as the drugs being taken are medically prescribed drugs with the intention of helping people safely withdraw. For example, buprenorphine is used for opioid addictions.

 @9J2PTNSanswered…2mos2MO

No, they should be opened in empty rural areas so all the addicts can go there and leave the rest of us alone

 @9HQJ9TSanswered…3mos3MO

Yes but only in rural, empty areas so the people who are addicted to illegal drugs move there and leave the rest of us alone.

 @9HK6M36answered…3mos3MO

I dont think the government should have them but if they do, they should be in the middle of nowhere so the druggies can go there and not cause any issues for the rest of us.

 @9HJY34Ranswered…3mos3MO

In places away from children and vulnerable communities. These havens must also have treatment available for the addicts

 @9HJXLNQanswered…3mos3MO

In two minds - "this would encourage drug use and lower funding for rehabilitation centers" is a true statement, but there are people who are already addicted where having access to a supervised environment can be beneficial, but at the same time encourage further drug use.

 @92GLF7Fanswered…2yrs2Y

We don’t need drug users in our country. They can fend for themselves

 @92FVLJJanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, however people should be required to do community service and have Centrelink entitlements reduced.

 @92FVGX7answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but only with the goal to rehabilitate and become free of the addiction

 @92FJLQKanswered…2yrs2Y

 @92DM7N8answered…2yrs2Y

More treatment centres, more care and support available, less stigma

 @92CGFKZanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but don’t just monitor whilst taking drugs but also whilst under the influence as too many go out and abuse people and drive.

 @92BKBGSanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes. Only if under medical supervision and with a focus of getting off drugs.

 @929GWSKGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes as long as they are also provided support and guidance to get through it

 @927DCHGLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

 @9272586answered…2yrs2Y

 @926ZGXHanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if it is used to provide frontline access to counselors and rehabilitation experts

 @926Q2NWanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, this is necessary to reduce the drug overdose death rate and drug abuse should be treated more as a health issue, then outright as a criminal issue

 @925G3RPanswered…2yrs2Y

In favour of it but not in any suburb I live in because it attracts drug users like flies to poop

 @9232NXHIndependentanswered…2yrs2Y

yes, but put more funding into BETTER mental illness and rehabilitation resources

 @922SML3Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

Support should be given to drug addicts to help them quit. Not by supplying them with the drug they are addicted to.

 @9226HK6Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

They should open places that allow for addicts to slowly ease their addiction however the idea presented above could help the reduce the amount f illegal drugs used.

 @8ZYYLPLanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but there should remain stiff penalties for those who do not reform

 @8ZYXJSKLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for the purpose of getting users off drugs and beating addiction.

 @8ZY5L65Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

I believe that there should be better rehabilitation in place, however, I do like that it would lower drug overdose death numbers

 @8ZWF8Y6Liberalanswered…2yrs2Y

i think that they should do this to a certain extent so they go there under supervision and overtime decrease the amount they are taking until they are no addicted, almost like rehab yet specialised for drug usage.

 @8ZV4WNVLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

No it would encourage drug us and potentially lower funding for rehabilitation centers but Drug addiction should be treated as a health issue both mental and physical

 @8ZV2RG3answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but make them go to rehabilitation centres frequently, and get them medical help, also reduce how much drugs they are consuming every fortnight.

 @8ZSCJ2NGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, this may offer a safe haven to reduce overdose, however offer support for rehabilitation for those struggling with addiction

 @8ZRZ4GQLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

 @8ZRGHN2answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but include rehabilitation, education (not drug related education, but for the person to be able to get a job and rejoin society etc.) and support for the individual to remain off drugs.

 @8ZQRRNSanswered…2yrs2Y

Only if the "safe haven" is tied to some form of drug rehabilitation program.

 @8ZQN74TLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue and these "safe havens" could provide better pathways into rehabilitation centers.
