Chris Middlemass is managing an addiction that he says stems from poverty and a traumatic childhood.
Chris, 41, said he was now keeping his addiction under control with a daily prescribed dose of the synthetic opiate methadone.In December, he said, he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and admitted to hospital with psychosis.
According to NRS, in 93% of all drug misuse deaths in 2021, more than one drug was found to be present in the body, with opiates such as heroin present 84% of the time and benzodiazepines 69% of the time. Chris now lives in Glasgow where there are a variety of services designed to help addicts inject heroin as safely as possible.
Laura Semple who helps run the facility argued that the Scottish government's hands are tied by Westminster's refusal to make radical changes to the UK's drugs laws.It would also allow the drugs crisis to be treated as a health rather than a criminal issue, she said, with doctors prescribing controlled substances which could be taken in a monitored environment.
