About us

MethHelp is a drug information and web help resource for people who are concerned about how methamphetamine use is affecting their lives. MethHelp provides high quality objective information about 'P' and its associated harms.

The website is built around the accounts of people who have used meth and other drugs, and people affected from someone else’s drug use. These are real people who have gone through the highs and lows associated with meth.

This website is based in Aoteoroa New Zealand and was launched in August 2010. It is part of the Government’s Action Plan on Methamphetamine, announced in October 2009.
