Safe injection sites are clearly a part of that support network.

Sure but they can’t be alll we do and that seems to be all we do. Which is not helping anyone.

It's not allll we do, safe injection sites are one of the methods of establishing relationships with addicts. They are exposed to and actively offered other interventions. Yes, we need to provide more interventions, because there are often long waiting lists (ie several YEARS long) to get more than the most basic help. Defunding safe injection sites isn't going to advance that goal.
