San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced this week plans to open a Rapid Enforcement, Support, Evaluation, and Triage or RESET Center to get drug users off the street in the city.
The center will open this spring at 444 Sixth St. in the city’s South of Market neighborhood.
The center will act as an alternative to jail or hospitalization for individuals arrested for public intoxication. Crisis care company Connections Health Solutions will provide care at the center and connect these individuals with appropriate treatments. When they can care for themselves, they will be eligible for release from the center.
The San Francisco Sheriff’s Office and the city’s Department of Public Health will oversee the center’s operation.
The center is part of Lurie’s “Breaking the Cycle” initiative to tackle the city’s homelessness and behavioral health crisis. A 24/7 crisis stabilization center and three recovery-focused interim housing programs were launched in San Francisco in 2025 as part of this initiative.
“We are making a fundamental change to San Francisco’s approach to the fentanyl crisis,” said Lurie in a news release Wednesday. “Instead of cycling through jails and emergency rooms, those using drugs on our streets will have a chance to enter treatment, and our law enforcement officers will get back on patrol more quickly.”
The center will begin pilot operations focusing on public intoxication in the South of Market neighborhood.
