Training heroin users to save their friends
Manage episode 382443372 series 1314884
Heroin users in Scotland are being trained to spot when someone is about to overdose and to step in and help.
The training – which includes lessons on how to use the antidote naloxone - is often led by people who have themselves been addicts.
Taxi drivers and police officers are also being trained, and naloxone being widely distributed, as part of a push to save as many lives as possible.
Reporter Craig Langran investigates whether the approach is working.
