Meth addicts swamping drug rehab facilities
Morning neighbours,
Methamphetamine appears to be closing in on alcohol as the nation's most addictive substance.
Usage is so rampant that Waikato District Health Board workers say it has endangered the region's methadone programme and pushed rehab facilities to maximum capacity.
Have you seen meth's impact in the community? And what do you think should be done about the issue?

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
