This summer Glasgow will be the first UK city to open a sanctioned safer drug consumption facility.
Ahead of its opening, The Ferret spent time with the Moss Park community in Toronto to find out how its consumption space saves lives and helps people heal.
The podcast covers a day-in-the-life of this site, which was set-up illegally as an emergency response to escalating deaths in the neighbourhood before being granted permission to operate as a consumption and treatment service in 2018.
We heard from those struggling to cope with the realities of addiction to super-strength fentanyl as well as those whose lives had been saved by the Moss Park team.
