The substances are administered with the guidance of licensed physicians.
"Managed alcohol and tobacco use makes it possible to increase the number of guests who stay in isolation and quarantine and, notably, protects the health of people who might otherwise need hospital care for life-threatening alcohol withdrawal," SFDPH said in a statement.

The city's practice was recently brought up in Twitter and a lively discussion quickly followed. Many presumed the city was using taxpayer dollars to provide the drugs.





SFDPH jumped in, tweeting that administering the drugs is a harm-reduction technique aimed at helping people successfully complete quarantine. The city also clarified that the drugs are not being paid for with taxpayer money.

San Francisco has undertaken a major effort to house people experiencing homelessness amid the coronavirus pandemic and has established a number of alternative housing options, including private hotels, congregate sites, trailers and recreational vehicles. As of Thursday, the city has placed more than 700 people living on the streets in housing, and more rooms are being prepared, according to the city's data tracker. Individuals over age 60 and with underlying health conditions are receiving priority for housing.





Before guests enter isolation, they're screened to determine their substance addictions and asked whether they'd like support to reduce or stop their use.

"Many isolation and quarantine guests tell us they use substances daily, and this period in our care has allowed some people to connect for the first time with addiction treatment and harm reduction therapy," SFDPH said in a statement.

SFDPH said staff do not "facilitate purchases of recreational cannabis," but in a few cases they have helped guests buy medical marijuana. Also, methadone can be provided to those with opioid-use disorder.
