The Fijian Cabinet has given the green light for the creation of a Drug Rehabilitation Centre as part of the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS). This significant decision was made during the initial cabinet meeting of the year, held in Suva.
The new Centre aims to offer focused interventions for individuals convicted of drug-related offenses, providing them with essential support to reform and effectively rejoin society. The rehabilitation programs offered will adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, ensuring a structured and health-oriented approach to recovery.
This initiative represents a positive step forward in addressing drug addiction issues within the justice system, highlighting a commitment to rehabilitation rather than just punishment. By equipping individuals with the tools needed for re-integration, Fiji is fostering a more compassionate and effective approach to dealing with drug-related offenses.
