Step inside the UK’s first legal safer drug consumption room. In Drugreporter’s new video, Lynn MacDonald, service manager at The Thistle, takes us through a space built not only for life-saving safer use, but for compassion, dignity, and respect — putting care and humanity at the center of the service.

In most European cities, services for people who use drugs are scattered across the map, fragmented by funding lines, bureaucratic boundaries, or political controversy. Vienna chose a different path. Our new film takes viewers inside Suchthilfe Wien, one of the most comprehensive and integrated municipal addiction-care systems in Europe — a place where essential services are not only coordinated, but physically under one roof.

In 2023, Slovakia finally removed the abstinence rules and health insurance debt barriers that had kept thousands of people who use drugs from accessing hepatitis C treatment. In this interview, Dominika Jasekova from the NGO Odyseus explains how the reform changed their work on the ground, what obstacles remain, and why the resilience of their clients continues to drive them forward.
