Drug consumption rooms could save thousands of UK lives, study finds.
Facilities could also slash transmission of diseases and cut pressure on ambulance callouts and hospitals, study says.
Thousands of lives could be saved if safe rooms were set up in UK cities where people could be supervised while they get high, the world's largest review of the effectiveness of drug-consumption rooms and overdose-prevention centres (OPCs) has found.
The part-government-funded study also found the facilities could slash the transmission of fatal diseases, as well as reduce drug litter, the pressure on ambulance callouts and the burden on hospitals.
Similar facilities already operate in France, the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Mexico, Iceland and Colombia.

Drug consumption rooms could save thousands of UK lives, study finds.
Facilities could also slash transmission of diseases and cut pressure on ambulance callouts and hospitals, study says.
Thousands of lives could be saved if safe rooms were set up in UK cities where people could be supervised while they get high, the world's largest review of the effectiveness of drug-consumption rooms and overdose-prevention centres (OPCs) has found.
The part-government-funded study also found the facilities could slash the transmission of fatal diseases, as well as reduce drug litter, the pressure on ambulance callouts and the burden on hospitals.

'It's like smoking poison': Sierra Leone's youth battle addiction to a mystery drug
No one seems to know what’s in it or where it comes from. Yet the 'kush devil' is destroying young African lives. At a rehab centre in Freetown, staff and users are fighting back.
One thing is certain in Freetown, Sierra Leone’s capital, says 18-year-old Abdullah: you are never far from a kush dealer. Some call its impact the "kush devil".
A single joint of kush can cost 5 leones (20p), which can add up quickly when buying multiple joints a day - in a country where youth unemployment stands at 60%, one of the highest in west Africa.
Authorities have likened kush to a synthetic cannaboid product - akin to the so-called “zombie drug” spice - that can be smoked, but no one appears to be sure what's in it. Kush users and the doctors treating them have suggested there are dangerous potential ingredients including fentanyl and tramadol, and also formalin, a chemical most often used to preserve human bodies. Shoe polish is another mooted element.
The image depicts individuals who are victims of kush and are currently receiving treatment at the Sierra Leone Psychiatric Hospital.

A single joint of kush can cost 5 leones (20p), which can add up quickly when buying multiple joints a day - in a country where youth unemployment stands at 60%, one of the highest in west Africa.
Authorities have likened kush to a synthetic cannaboid product - akin to the so-called “zombie drug” spice - that can be smoked, but no one appears to be sure what's in it. Kush users and the doctors treating them have suggested there are dangerous potential ingredients including fentanyl and tramadol, and also formalin, a chemical most often used to preserve human bodies. Shoe polish is another mooted element.

'It's like smoking poison': Sierra Leone's youth battle addiction to a mystery drug
No one seems to know what’s in it or where it comes from. Yet the 'kush devil' is destroying young African lives. At a rehab centre in Freetown, staff and users are fighting back.
One thing is certain in Freetown, Sierra Leone’s capital, says 18-year-old Abdullah: you are never far from a kush dealer. Some call its impact the "kush devil".
