SPOT

SPOT (Supportive Place for Observation and Treatment) was made with the goal of preventing fatal overdoses in mind and provides a haven for over-sedated individuals to recuperate, who are mainly poor or homeless. The program allows individuals to come in and “sleep off” their high or overdose and are kept safe using a non-invasive finger monitor on guests to monitor their vitals. SPOT does not require participants to give their names, which gives the program some street credibility and encourages others to come in without the fear of being judged
