Description

Te Ara Hou - Methamphetamine Specialists

Te Ara Hou is a dedicated kaupapa Maori alcohol and other drug service located in Clendon, Auckland. The core aim of the service is to help clients who have alcohol and other drug addictions, to overcome their addiction and choose a better lifestyle for themselves and their whanau.

The programme offered at Te Ara Hou is a 26 week residential programme modelled on a Maori world-view (kaupapa Maori) Model of Practice named Te Toi o Matariki (the "awakening"). Te Toi Matariki works on the concepts that in order to realise your need to make change, one must understand who they are as an individuals, then as Maori, then their cultural value base. 

Te Ara Hou also provides peer support to whanau members who have been affected by the impact of alcohol and other drug use by their loved one, including one-to-one counselling and follow up support.
