Naloxone intervention kits will be placed in West Dunbartonshire Council offices, libraries, leisure centres and other local authority buildings in a bid to save lives.
Last year it was estimated that 1300 lives were saved in Scotland by Naloxone - a medication used to reverse the effects of opioids to allow medical intervention.
Scotland has the highest rate of drug related deaths in Europe, and West Dunbartionshire has in recent years had the second highest drug death figures in Scotland. In 2021 there were 28 drug-related deaths recorded in the area.
