SloveniaThe article discusses the ongoing efforts to establish a safe room in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where individuals can consume drugs safely under medical supervision. Safe rooms, which have existed since the 1980s and were first introduced in Bern in 1986, aim to reduce harm and provide support rather than criminalize drug use. In Slovenia, the first safe room was established in Nova Gorica in 2023 under the auspices of the Slovenian Association for Mental Health, Šent. The organization has received funding to continue its work and expand to Ljubljana. While preparations for a safe room in Ljubljana are underway, including partnerships with the City of Ljubljana and the Ljubljana Health Center, there is no set timeline for its opening. Experts emphasize that safe rooms benefit both users and local communities by reducing public health risks and improving safety.
