The Fijian Cabinet has granted approval for the creation of a Drug Rehabilitation Centre within the Fiji Corrections Service. This significant decision was made during the first cabinet meeting of the year held in Suva.
The establishment of the Centre aims to provide essential interventions tailored for convicted drug offenders, focusing on their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. By offering structured programs, the Centre aspires to guide individuals toward reform, equipping them with skills and support necessary for a successful return to their communities.
Importantly, the rehabilitation programs that will be offered at the Centre are designed to align with the standards set forth by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to drug rehabilitation.
This initiative reflects a positive step toward addressing drug-related issues in Fiji by prioritizing reform over mere punishment. It acknowledges the potential for change among offenders and highlights the importance of rehabilitation in fostering a safer community.
