Buvidal drug treatment 'like being given a new life'

A recovering heroin addict says a new treatment being trialled in the West Midlands is like "being given the keys to a new life".

Buvidal is a monthly injection that replaces daily treatments like methadone.

The charity behind the trial, Change Grow Live, is describing it as a game-changer.

It comes as the government prepares to publish its 10 year drugs strategy.

Phil, 41, from Brierley Hill, said although heroin led to him "losing everything", he still did not stop.
