About this organization
This group, the NAOMI Patients Association (NPA), meets every Saturday at Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU). The NPA offers support, education and advocacy to its members.
Their goal is to have alternative and permanent public treatments and programs, including heroin assistance programs, to improve consent and ethics, and ultimately to end drug prohibition. They are the only contemporary research participants in North America to receive heroin maintenance. They have unique knowledge about theNAOMI project and its impact. They draw from lived experience, advocacy, focus groups, creative writing and NPA meetings. The NPA also discusses how the war on drugs contribute to exclusion and discrimination of drug users.
