The first of three new episodes of the BBC's hit fly-on-the-wall documentary is being screened on Monday.
And many will be appalled to watch one of the "stars", James McMurray, visiting a dealer then returning to his kitchen to shoot up.
As he pushes a syringe full of heroin into his arm, his mum Libby weeps uncontrollably just feet away.
James boasts of having already taken 30 diazepam tablets and is seen falling into a stupor.
The BBC Scotland show had to be suspended last June after two episodes, when some of the featured addicts, hard drinkers and petty criminals were involved in court cases.
But these have now been resolved, allowing the show, set in Kilmarnock's Onthank estate, to return.
Repeats of the two previously seen episodes were shown last week and attracted over half a million viewers.
The series was originally to have four episodes, but another has been added after it proved a ratings success.
The third episode continues the stories of some characters from the first two instalments.
While some families have been torn apart by addiction and poverty, others battle to save their community. Despite suffering a bereavement, the Cree family are featured fighting to reopen a local community centre.
And green-fingered Harry also features in his quest to win an Ayrshire gardening competition.
But community leaders on the estate are furious that the show is back.
They say the BBC are wrongly portraying their home as crimeridden and hopeless.
The Sceme has been slammed as "poverty porn" and a cheap way of winning high viewing figures by exploiting vulnerable people.
Others argue it is an important social documentary that could open the eyes of decision-makers out of touch with the scale of social depravation in hundreds of Scottish towns.
A bbc Scotland spokesman said: "The Scheme is meant to reflect the lives of the people in the programme and their hopes and challenges."
The show has turned Marvin Baird and Dayna McLaughlin and their dog Bullet into household names.
The final two episodes will be aired on BBC1 on May 23 and 24 at 10.35pm.
An update show looking at what the residents have been doing since filming ended will be shown on May 30.
