PETALING JAYA: Even though the decriminalisation of drug dependency last year managed to keep many addicts out of prison, much more needs to be done to ensure their successful reintegration into wider society, say authorities and activists.
“AADK has also strengthened its initiatives to transform drug treatment and rehabilitation in Malaysia by introducing Drug Screening and Assessment Centres . Currently, the four DACs are in Tampin, Kuala Muda , Gambang , as well as at AADK’s headquarters in Kajang.“We can see that when an individual commits a drug-related offence, especially under Section 15 of the DDA 1952, they will be diverted to treatment and rehabilitation, either through Institutional Rehabilitation Treatment Programme or the Community-Based Rehabilitation Treatment Programme .
He said although the Act has not yet been enforced, 924 drug dependents voluntarily came forward from January to August to seek rehabilitation.
