Aurora Syringe Access Services (ASAS) provides outreach, education and syringe exchange services for people who inject drugs and their partners in the Aurora area, especially along Colfax Ave. We are open Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 - 4 p.m. at It Takes A Village, 1475 Lima St., Aurora, 80010. 

ASAS is a safe, legal, non-judgmental place to get free injection supplies confidentially. 

Injecting drugs can lead to infections such as HIV and Hepatitis C Virus. Syringe Access Services can reducethese infections by providing people who inject drugs with sterile, safer injection supplies and safe disposal of needles. ASAS can also refer clients to substance abuse treatment and prevent overdose by providing Naloxone, an anti-overdose medication.
