The Cabinet has given the green light for the creation of a Drug Rehabilitation Centre under the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS). This significant decision was made during the cabinet’s inaugural meeting of the year held in Suva yesterday.
The establishment of the Centre aims to provide essential interventions for convicted drug offenders, facilitating their journey toward rehabilitation and a successful reintegration into society. The drug rehabilitation programs implemented at this Centre will adhere to the rigorous standards established by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services, ensuring the best practices in treatment and support for individuals seeking to overcome their challenges.
This initiative represents a proactive approach to addressing drug-related issues within the community by focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. It underscores the government’s commitment to providing second chances and fostering a supportive environment for individuals striving for a better future. In doing so, the Fiji government not only aims to reduce recidivism but also improve public safety and community well-being.
