Methamphetamine users in WA could be locked up in crisis accommodation centres as part of the McGowan Government's plan to reduce use of the drug.

Key points: The WA Government has rejected a call to consider legalising some drug use

The WA Government has rejected a call to consider legalising some drug use But a proposal for crisis intervention centres for meth users is being examined

But a proposal for crisis intervention centres for meth users is being examined Premier McGowan says reducing the stigma around drug use is also important

The proposal for compulsory crisis intervention for methamphetamine users follows the release of the final report by the Government's Methamphetamine Action Taskforce, which has made 57 recommendations to tackle high rates of use.

But the Government has already shut down some of those suggestions, including potentially contentious recommendations for a needle syringe exchange program to be rolled out in WA prisons.

It has also rejected a proposal to consider legalising some drug use.

The taskforce called for a "comprehensive public consideration", in the form of a parliamentary inquiry, to recognise the "limitations of criminalisation and imprisonment of drug users and [consider] alternative non-prohibition models for drugs".

But Premier Mark McGowan quickly shut down the idea some drug use could be legalised.

"We are not going to soften our approach to illicit drug use," Mr McGowan said.

No rushed decisions: Minister

The Government provided few details about the proposal for compulsory crisis intervention, but said legislative change could be required and further consideration would also be needed before it was implemented.

A similar system to the one proposed is currently being trialled in New South Wales.

"It is a complex issue so we will not be rushing into it," Health Minister Roger Cook said.

"We will also need to identify a location for that sort of service and make sure it is suitable, so that is something we will be looking at in 2019."

Mr Cook said the proposed compulsory crisis intervention would be "primarily a health environment", but differentiated it from both a hospital bed and a prison cell.

Among the taskforce's other key recommendations are:

A call for more drug and alcohol education in schools;

A call for more drug and alcohol education in schools; The establishment of a "one-stop shop" 24-hour support service; and

The establishment of a "one-stop shop" 24-hour support service; and Work to reduce the stigma around methamphetamine use

Lose the 'drug user' tag: report

The report proposes a change in the language surrounding methamphetamine users, including referring to someone as "abstinent" or a "person who has stopped using drugs" rather than someone who is "clean".

It also suggests terms such as "person who uses drugs" and "person with drug dependence", rather than "drug user" and "addict" respectively.

The report made those suggestions as part of a recommendation to "reduce the stigma associated with methamphetamine use", in part by "developing guidelines" around using "non-judgmental language" to describe substance use.

Liberal leader Mike Nahan ridiculed the suggestions, describing them as unhelpful.

"You have to face your addiction and be explicit about it," Dr Nahan said.

"Politically correct language is not going to solve the problem or in fact help people address it."

But Mr McGowan said reducing the stigma around drug use was an important part of tackling the problem.

"We want people to get help earlier and we don't want them to feel too embarrassed or too stigmatised to get that help earlier," Mr McGowan said.

While the Government has already made some commitments out of the report, such as an expanded police and mental health joint crisis response and a one-stop-shop support service, it will now develop an implementation plan to fully respond to the document.

Mr McGowan said the Government's response to the methamphetamine problem would be wide-ranging.

"We have seen a reduction in the use of methamphetamine, we are on the right path. But it is a long, winding, difficult road," he said.

"This plan is about being comprehensive, not just focusing on law enforcement but also focusing on better assistance for families dealing with this issue."
