Halton Regional police say the alleged incident happened on Monday when courthouse officers were alerted to a woman in custody in medical distress.
Officers administered three doses of naloxone and the woman was taken to hospital where she later recovered.
Police say they determined the woman received the substance, believed to be fentanyl, from her cell mate.
