  • Drug consumption rooms could save thousands of UK lives, study finds.
    DUKAS_164625786_EYE
    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.

    Injectable drug user receives assistance from a nurse, in the supervised consumption room, the only one in the north of the country, in Pasteleira, on December 15, 2023, Porto, Portugal. The monitored consumption room is a container divided into 2 rooms, one for smoking, containing six seats, and the injectable room with 4 seats and with nurses controlling and providing assistance, where consumers can only spend 30 minutes in each room.
