Things like more pure drugs (not cut with anything dangerous), clean needles, lightening stigma, a support network, and doctors on site. >

How will it enable more pure drugs ? [ I assume they already have a clean needle program - most places have]  - thre is no mention of support network or doctors on sites.

Well they would have to supply it. IIRC  Switzerland saw success with treatments like this, but Im not well versed in the details. >
