Show Notes
Urban Alchemys Santa Fe shelter grapples with drug overdoses, despite a no-use policy. Since August, two fatal overdoses have occurred, and staff have reversed dozens more using naloxone. The low-barrier facility struggles with drug use, leading to removals and behavior contracts. Neighbors complain about open drug activity, and the shelters workforce, many recovering from addiction, faces challenges due to the high number of overdose incidents. Urban Alchemy aims to balance second chances with safety.
