The Cabinet has given the green light for the creation of a Drug Rehabilitation Centre within the Fiji Corrections Service (FCS). This significant decision was made during the first cabinet meeting of the year held in Suva.
The establishment of this Centre aims to offer tailored interventions for convicted drug offenders, focusing on their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society. The programs will align with the standards established by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services to ensure their effectiveness and adherence to health guidelines.
This initiative marks a positive step forward in addressing drug-related issues within the correctional system, providing offenders with the support they need to overcome addiction and build a better future. It underscores the government’s commitment to fostering rehabilitation rather than mere punishment.
In summary, the introduction of the Drug Rehabilitation Centre within the FCS is a proactive measure aimed at helping drug offenders reform and reintegrate into society, with the support of well-regulated health-based programs.
