drug rehabilitation

It seems the Government's spending far less than promised on a highly effective methamphetamine programme.

It promised to spend $38-million this Parliamentary term to expand the Te Ara Oranga programme to another four thousand people.

But figures released to RNZ show it’s spent less than a fifth of that.

The programme has a 34% harm reduction rate.

Drug Detection Agency chief executive Glenn Dobson told Tim Dower that that's significant for any rehabilitation programme - particularly for meth.

He says it's an incredibly difficult drug to rehabilitate, as there's both a physical and psychological dependency, and results indicate the programme’s been successful across the community.

This is a personal account of my brother and how he has brought about real change in his life by trying to develop a closer attachment to God. He gave his permission for me to share this very personal story, and I hope in some way it’s a tribute to him and his steadfast determination to improve. I mention how his change has not only been spiritual but physical also—he has lost 90 pounds at the airing of this podcast! I hope his story will lift you as it does me.
