Is methadone working in Scotland's fight against drugs?

Is methadone working in Scotland's fight against drugs? And why are young people leaving Highland and Island areas in their droves?

A record high of £28 million pounds was spent on methadone in Scotland last year. This morning Kaye asks: Methadone is it working? 

And community figures are telling us that the cost of living is forcing those aged between 15 and 30 to leave Highland and Island areas in their droves. As well as investigating the impact of this migration on local communities Kaye asks why are young people really leaving the Highlands and Islands; are they really being driven out or are they desperate to leave?
