SUDIS (Substance Use Disorder Integrated Services) is a non-profit organization responding to the task of reaching the undeserved and struggling individuals of Los Angeles County. Using a multifaceted harm reduction approach without bias or coercion, SUDIS will empower individuals to make their own decisions regarding health, drug use and overall wellness. This assistance will give participants hope- restoring dignity and helping them reach their full potential.

OUR VISION

We support a harm reduction approach that is both compassionate and nondiscriminatory for people who use substances.
