Two websites launched yesterday are using "raw, authentic and uncensored" video testimonials from former addicts to help people off drugs.

DrugHelp.org.nz and MethHelp.org.nz are part of a three-year, $1 million project by the Drug Foundation and Ministry of Health and have recovering addicts tell their own stories and give information on treatment options and practical advice about dealing with withdrawal.
