Concern over plans to force drug addicts into rehabilitation

COMMUNITY drug projects have expressed serious concern at controversial government plans to force drugs addicts to undergo rehabilitation.

CityWide Drugs Crisis Campaign, an umbrella group for local projects, said resources need to be pumped into voluntary rehabilitation programmes.

The group also called on the Government to clarify which department is going to take over the National Drugs Strategy (NDS) and the Office of the Minister for Drugs (OMD).
