Dozens of Bayside establishments have remained open for business despite suffering significant damage during heavy flooding last week after a severe thunderstorm struck the neighborhood.

When it comes to treating opioid addiction, the evidence is clear: programs that combine harm reduction with comprehensive care save lives. This approach works because it starts with a simple truth – every step toward better health matters. Whether someone needs clean needles today, is ready for counseling, or wants to start medication-assisted treatment, having all these services in one trusted place makes the difference between getting support and going without.

The need for this approach is especially urgent in Queens, where there are only five opioid treatment programs. With so few programs available among over 2.2 million people, many who need treatment must travel hours across the borough or to other parts of the city for care. The numbers tell a grim story: In 2021, overdose deaths in Queens hit 21.4 per 100,000 people. Black New Yorkers saw the biggest rise in deaths from 2020 to 2021, while deaths among Latino/a New Yorkers went up by 13.5 per 100,000, and White New Yorkers saw an uptick from 34.1 to 36.2 per 100,000.
