New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio To Propose Plan For Safe Sites For Drug User To Inject

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 04: People walk through an area of the South Bronx with a high heroin addiction rate on May 4, 2018 in New York City. In an attempt to reverse the number of overdose deaths, New York City could become the first city in the United States to adopt supervised injection facilities also known as safe injection sites. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has moved to open four safe injection sites which he has called Overdose Prevention Centers as part of a one-year pilot program. The Bronx was the borough with the highest number of overdose deaths in 2016 with 308 residents dying. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
