Queensland to spend $6 million on ice prevention and rehab

The Queensland government will spend $6 million a year on communities most impacted by the ice epidemic.

Cooktown, the Gold Coast, Rockhampton, Charleville and Cunnamulla will each receive additional rehabilitation, treatment and outreach services under the plan to be announced on Sunday, News Limited reports.

The government will also allocate new Drug and Alcohol Intervention Teams at the Logan and Townsville Hospitals.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will also announce a discussion paper on the government's plan and the public will have six weeks to make submission.

"Ice is having a chaotic effect on many individuals, their families and communities," she told The Sunday Mail.

"These new initiatives are the first tranche of the government's response and will put resources into frontline treatment and management of those suffering from the ice epidemic."
