Injecting room

Injecting rooms around Australia allow for those people who are addicted to an illicit or illegal drug to have a place safe place wherein they may inject or take drugs in their manner without the view and judgments of the community. There is much debate about injecting rooms, whether it is right to hide away the fact that there is a drug problem in our community and not do much actions to stop this continuum, or whether we should be giving these people information and treatment for their addiction rather than encourage it. Around 30,000 people go to these rooms a year, and about 300,000 ecstasy tablets have been seized during this time. Many would describe these houses as a positive community initiative, while others would say that it is only encouraging the users.
