Our Programs
Harm Reduction
Erie CARES is a community-based program initiated by Creative Restorations, INC, dedicated to addressing the ongoing opioid crisis in Erie County, and WNY.
Our mission is to provide "boots on the ground" comprehensive prevention, education, and harm reduction services to individuals and families affected by opioid use disorder while fostering a supportive and empathetic community environment.
We provide Narcan, Fentanyl/Xylazine test strips, and other harm reduction supplies.
