Evidence is clear that isolation from friends, family and support can place people who use drugs at higher risk of a fatal overdose.

 

Equally, initial case studies have suggested that the distribution of digital devices and building the skills and confidence to use them can be life changing.


The Digital Lifelines Scotland team are gathering powerful evidence to inform and shape the future direction of the programme, ensuring that people and their needs remain at the core of what we do in our mission to contribute to the reduction of drug related harm and death in Scotland.
