Funding treatment services is a key part of the Government's fight against P. It's important that people ready to quit can get the help they need.
This week an expanded residential service at Dunedin's Moana House was opened. It houses six new beds for the treatment and rehabilitation of methamphetamine users. The extra beds are being funded through the $23 million the Government has invested over three years in additional methamphetamine treatment services. This will provide 60 new residential beds for P users across New Zealand.
The $23 million for methamphetamine treatment services is on top of the $111 million spent on publicly funded addiction treatment services in the last financial year.
Moana House offers rehabilitation programmes for male offenders. Rehabilitation for methamphetamine users with criminal backgrounds can help break the cycle of crime and abuse that P inflicts on people.
