Former participants of NT rehab program say many will be left without support when funding is cut
Shay Hodder hasn’t used methamphetamine for 18 months and is reunited with her family.
Key points:
- The NT government will cut about $2 million in funding for a rehabilitation program
- A former program participant says the program turned her life around
- The government says it will continue to offer support through other programs
But she’s worried others recovering from addiction will not receive the second chance she got, because the Northern Territory government is cutting $2 million in funding to a rehabilitation program for people on parole and on bail.
