PROVIDENCE Jonathan Goyer watched family relationships fray, jobs vanish and his social network dwindle to nothing during the 10 years he injected heroin. During his darkest times, he dwelled alone in the underground world of opioid addiction.
Even so, Goyer says he would experience days, or even mere moments, when he wanted to put the drugs aside. He calls such moments “windows of willingness.”
Goyer, now eight years in recovery, is among the supporters of safe injection sites as a means to keep drug users safe, curb the spread of infectious diseases and possibly reach them during those openings, to provide them with access to drug treatment, medical care, safe supplies and support.
