In the last year alone, more than 6000 people were caught using Ice by Victorian Police.
"It is everywhere," said Janice Ablett, the manager and founder of the rehabilitation program, the Ice Meltdown Project, “it's destructive, it's demonic, it'll rip their family apart, it'll rip anyone apart."
Rural Victorian towns are taking the brunt of this pandemic drug use, and there is a serious lack of publicly available rehabilitation beds, all with months-long wait lists.
