Do you think Hamilton needs live-in rehab beds for drug and alcohol addiction?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

“We want to bring our beds home to the Waikato,” says Stephen King, who already runs a support facility in Hamilton.

Getting residential alcohol and drug addiction treatment beds in the city would mean people don't have to travel to Auckland and their whānau could be more involved in the recovery process, King said.

He is the executive director of Hamilton’s Alcohol and Drug Community Trust, which runs a 30-bed support facility known as Manning St, and he's working to establish a local facility like Auckland's Higher Ground.

WOF and Rego expired but not taken off the road yet (? March 2023). Body has dings, scratches and some rust. Dusty and dirty interior - needs a good valet service. Runs okay - also needs a good mechanical service. Not aware of any engine repair work needed. Daughter was using this car but didn't take care for it. Dropped it off at our house late one night saying she cannot park it where she is now living. We are not on good terms and just want it gone from our property as it is taking up space in our driveway. Will add odometer reading soon. Call 0204-1577-661.
