Need Harm Reduction Services in Barre? Vermont Cares is There!

Johny and Ben are ready to help! Stop by and say hi!!

If you’re looking for harm reduction services and support including syringe access, sharps disposal, Narcan, safer use supplies, drug testing, Xylazine wound care, and HIV+ case management, look no further than Vermont Cares. I stopped by their office in Barre on Wednesday to hang with Ben and Johny and learn more about their supportive, confidential services. When you need help, they’re ready — with a smile and without judgement.

The Barre office is located upstairs above the People’s Health and Wellness Clinic, 51 Church St. in Barre, VT. That’s right behind the big statue of the kneeling guy, so it’s easy to find! The office is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Call for hours: 802-528-1135. They also offer a free app, which you can download by scanning a QR code here..

VT Cares also offers services through a mobile unit, and at offices in Burlington, Rutland, and St. Johnsbury. For more info, visit the Vermont Cares website at VTcares.org.
