Mainline home page Drugs, health and the street Drug users live on the edge of society. Poor health seems to be inherent to their life style. But most health problems are avoidable. The information must naturally be tailored to drug users and their way of life.
Users wish to stay healthy while continuing their drug habits.
Complicated instructions and a dissapproving attitude toward drugs are both counterproductive. Well-designed informative materials are scarce so users are often poorly informed. Diseases can spread all too easily among them and then to the public at large. The Mainline Foundation was established in 1990 with the aim of calling a halt to this development. Mainline is an independent organization for health and prevention work among drug users.
