Corrections Minister Judith Collins today opened the first of three new drug treatment units which will double the number of prisoners able to undertake drug rehabilitation in New Zealand prisons.

Two further drug and alcohol units, at Wanganui and Auckland prisons, will be completed by 2011 bringing the total number of drug treatment units around the country to nine.
