Basically, safe injection sites are step 1 in a several step process to help drug users stay safe. Step 2 is immediately available access to counselling and rehab facilities for those who want it.

Step 2 costs a lot of money, so it doesn't get implemented, and then it looks like it doesn't work. It does work. If you're building a subway system and stop after digging a big hole in the ground, it doesn't mean subways don't work; it means politicians don't care enough to make it happen.
