Vic ice addicts get $18m treatment help

Ice-addicted Victorians will get extra treatment places with an $18 million funding boost.

Families coping with members using ice will get $4.7 million over four years for support services as part of the $24.6 million package.

"The $18 million for innovative rehabilitation programs will ensure treatment for more than 500 people a year - treating their drug problems early, and keeping them close to their existing support networks," Mental Health Minister Martin Foley said.
