Facility designed to allow people to take drugs more safely while supervised is coming to Llanelli

The UK's first ever operational Overdose Prevention Centre (OPC), where people might one day be allowed to take drugs while supervised, hope the people behind it, is coming to Llanelli Town Centre.

The OPC, also known as a 'Supervised Drug Consumption Room' will be coming to the town on March 14, 2022, to showcase what one could look like locally.

Those behind the initiative claim the converted ambulance has previously been used, unofficially, to supervise more than 1,000 injections by people using illegal drugs in Glasgow and treat multiple overdoses.
