Local authorities can prevent premature deaths from heroin and other opioid use by ensuring that naloxone is widely available. A recent survey showed that most local authorities provide naloxone, mostly through drug treatment services to drug treatment service users. All local authorities are advised to consider whether their local arrangements are effective at getting naloxone to where it is needed most.
Naloxone can be supplied by a drug service to any individual needing access to it. This could be to:
- An individual currently, or with a history of, using opiates
- A carer, family member or friend is liable to be on hand in case of overdose
- A named individual in a hostel or other facility where drug users gather and might be at risk of overdose e.g. the manager or another staff member
Drug services in this context are commissioned by a local authority or the NHS and understood to include:
- Specialist drug treatment services
- Primary care drug services
- Needle and syringe programmes, including those provided by pharmacies
- Pharmacy providing supervised consumption of opioid substitute medication
Naloxone can also be supplied on prescription to an individual currently – or with a history of – using illicit opiates, including someone leaving prison or receiving opioid substitution therapy. With the agreement of someone to whom naloxone can be prescribed, it can also be provided to their family members, carers, peers and friends

What People are Saying
What people are saying about this course
“As with all Protrainngs UK courses the background information, instruction and support materials or of a very high standard, and backed by highly trained instructors. Have completed new and refresher e-learning courses with Protrainings over the past few months, due covid lockdown and access to to training facilities. The extra knowledge gained from these, with the additional course materials and support documents has been most valuable in maintaining my CPD and extending my own knowledge of specific areas of First Aid and Response. The Naloxone course is to be recommended to all our Security Staff (Door Supervisory and Events Security) to support and certify their potential administration to a casualty, alongside that of the Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) training.”
