Abstract
This Commentary brings a new proposal for eliminating some of the existing barriers to opening overdose prevention sites in the United States. With a multitude of evidence-based research cited, there is strong support for the argument that especially due to the Covid-19 pandemic there must be more comprehensive federal legislative action taken in order to allow access to a proven model of prevention and care for those experiencing opiate addiction.
