Abstract
Canada's opioid crisis is a public health emergency that disproportionately affects people who use drugs alone at home, requiring the mobilization of health systems to implement timely, effective, and innovative programs. The purpose of this review is to provide a synthesis of recent literature relating to technology-enabled harm reduction strategies. The results of the literature review are corroborated with key informants, including family members of people who use drugs and policy-makers in the area of opioid use. Based on this, it is recommended that technology-enabled support programs for people who use drugs at home must deliver support at whatever point the person is along their drug use continuum, must transfer frontline relational skills, must be co-developed with community members and service providers, and must deliver predictable and reliable services that are safe from stigma.
