The Illinois Harm Reduction & Recovery Coalition (IHRRC) is a statewide advocacy organization dedicated to advancing harm reduction policies and promoting recovery-oriented approaches to substance use. The coalition works to reduce overdose deaths, prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and improve health equity by supporting evidence-based interventions, community education, and policy reform.
IHRRC typically advocates for harm reduction and public health policies including syringe service programs, naloxone access and overdose prevention initiatives, medication-assisted treatment expansion, decriminalization and diversion programs, healthcare access for people who use drugs, and funding for recovery support services.
The organization is primarily funded through grants from public health agencies, private foundations, and charitable contributions.
IHRRC collaborates with local public health departments, community-based harm reduction organizations, recovery advocacy groups, and statewide public health coalitions.
