I am not the person you were responding to, but harm reduction refers to programs that help to reduce the negative consequences of certain behaviors.
A good example would be AAA offering free rides to anyone who is too drunk to drive on new years eve.
Another example would be condoms.
I think in this context the original commenter is asking about programs like needle exchanges and safe injection sites. These prevent deaths and the spread of illness associated with intravenous drug use.
