The £2.3 million Scottish drug shooting gallery was visited 131 times in its first week of operation.
The facility – known as The Thistle – allows users to inject their own drugs on site.
After opening on January 13, it received 131 visitors in the first seven days.
Users who brought their own illegal drugs were given access to injection booths before relaxing in a lounge area with a flat-screen TV and a selection of books.
Allan Casey, Glasgow City Council leader for addiction services, said: “It has been an intense first week for the team as all eyes are on Glasgow. I'm happy to hear that people are making use of all the facilities The Thistle offers.
'We know this isn't a silver bullet – but having a facility that is safe, sanitary and medically supervised will go a long way to reducing drug-related overdoses, injection-related wounds and infections, and the negative impact that outdoor injecting has on health. local communities.'
He added: 'It's a promising start and I know the team and everyone involved are keen to welcome more people in the coming weeks and months.'
As well as being able to use the safer injection facilities, users were also provided with 'wound care, clean injection equipment and naloxone if required', Glasgow City Council said.
The centre, the first in Britain, aims to ensure addicts have medical support at hand when taking Class A drugs, rather than risking an overdose on the street.

They also used the shower, laundry and lounge areas and received housing and drug treatment assistance.
There were “no medical emergencies resulting from drug use within the facility,” the council added.
The 'shooting gallery' will cost £2.3 million for the three-year pilot project and will be funded by the Scottish Government for the first year.
Drug workers estimate there are around 500 regular injectors in the area and hope as many as possible will come to the clinic, where they can also get Covid and flu jabs.
Scottish Conservative drugs spokesperson Annie Wells said: 'These figures show the scale of the drug deaths crisis that has spiraled out of control under the SNP's watch.
“They cannot be satisfied that this will suddenly solve the emergency for which they are responsible.
“Ministers have failed to address serious concerns among communities who will be wondering what action will be taken if the number of users continues to grow.

The facility – known as the Thistle – can accommodate up to 30 service users at a time, 365 days a year from 9am to 9pm.

“It is time for the SNP to accept a variety of solutions to reduce drug deaths, starting with finally backing the Right to Recovery Bill.”
The Thistle is the first center of its kind in Britain. There are 31 employees and it is open daily from 9am to 9pm. If this is deemed a success, it could be extended.
It was set up amid rising drug deaths in Scotland – the highest in Europe – but critics have warned it will not tackle the problem of addiction.
In 2023, there were 1,172 drug-related deaths in Scotland, an increase of 12 percent on the previous year.
