'I want people to know the word Nitazenes'

Dylan from Southampton was 21 when he died in 2021 and is one of the first deaths linked to nitazene-contaminated drugs in the UK. The powerful synthetic opioids are being hidden in other illegal drugs by dealers.

Dylan's mum Claire has been speaking to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ as part of a new documentary, ‘The New Drug Threat’, now available on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ iPlayer which is exposing the damage the drugs are causing and how they’re getting to the UK.

If you’ve been affected by addiction, details of help are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
