Sarah Helm: Drug Foundation CEO on the increased use of meth, lack of support for meth-addictions

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

The Drug Foundation says the country barely invests anything into helping and supporting people with meth-addiction.   Discharges from public hospitals suggest meth-use has increased four-fold over the past decade.  Wastewater testing last year showed a doubling in meth use.   Drug Foundation Chief Executive Sarah Helm told Mike Hosking a lot more could be done, especially with knowledge from new research.   She says about half of people using illicit substances have ADHD, which could help prevent drug-use if treated.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
