Harm reduction remains controversial although some see it as a paradigm shift with the potential to significantly improve treatment results. Harm reduction is often the only option that will preserve a therapeutic relationship when people continue to use or drink problematically. Attempting the use of harm reduction is preferred over admitting the patient to an acute care hospital, ceasing to provide care, or having the patient admitted as a mental health client.
