CareNZ has welcomed the announcement that it has been awarded funding to continue its drug treatment programmes in prisons, saying the funding is recognition of the results its work is achieving. CareNZ, which provides services for people with addiction issues, is continuing a partnership with the Department of Corrections to provide drug treatment services in six New Zealand prisons. CareNZ once again won the tender to deliver its unique drug and alcohol treatment programme in Drug Treatment Units at Waikeria Prison (Waikato), Spring Hill Corrections Facility (South Waikato), Hawke's Bay Regional Prison, Rimutaka Prison (Hutt Valley), Arohata Prison (Wellington), and Christchurch Prison. CareNZ CEO Tim Harding says the funding is testament to the programme's effectiveness which has also been validated by recent research results. Department of Corrections analysis show prisoners who have completed one of CareNZ's programmes can reduce their reoffending rates by up to a third compared to similar offenders who don't do the treatment. The research also shows a 31 percent drop in the severity of re-offending by graduates of the CareNZ programme. Read More. |
