The increasing use of methamphetamine (“crystal meth” or “ice”) is a significant concern across the Australian population, with an estimated 160,000 Australians dependent on the drug . Many of the problems related to ice use stem from heavy use of the drug, and can be successfully reduced with effective treatment. However, the majority people who use methamphetamine do not access treatment services despite meeting criteria for dependence and experiencing problems from their methamphetamine use.

The Breaking the Ice program is designed to help you become more aware of how your current lifestyle and your use of ice affects your health and other areas of your life. It will also help you to weigh up the important issues or problems you have identified. In this program you will also be given information about where you can get information and help to make some changes if that is what you decide to do.
