Te Ara Oranga is a Northland based programme that helps people and whānau affected by methamphetamine find a path towards recovery. It brings together treatment services, whānau support, and employment help in a culturally responsive way. People can be referred by whānau, health providers, or Police, or they can reach out and self-refer directly.


Te Ara Oranga combines:

  • Police referrals and prevention activities

  • Alcohol and drug treatment services

  • Whānau support

  • Employment and social support

  • Culturally responsive, community-led approaches

Rather than focusing solely on enforcement, the programme aims to reduce demand for methamphetamine by helping users engage with treatment and support services. People can be referred by Police, whānau, health providers, or can self-refer.
