The International Network of Drug Consumption Rooms [INDCR] is a platform that brings together the knowledges and experiences of professionals in Europe since 2011. The network’s goal is to increase access and quality of drug consumption rooms, building on existing scientific evidence and the perspectives, experiences and knowledges of services providers and people who use drugs.
