 The self-help guide provides patients with information to help assess risks and benefits, and to prepare to come off, reduce, or continue medications when their physicians are unfamiliar with or unable to provide this guidance.The guide is in circulation among mental health consumer groups and has been translated into ten languages.Critics, such as Drug Free America Foundation and other members of network "International Task Force on Strategic Drug Policy", state that a risk posed by harm reduction is by creating the perception that certain behaviours can be partaken of safely, such as illicit drug use, that it may lead to an increase in that behaviour by people who would otherwise be deterred.
