Adeeba: Drug addicts fare better at C&C clinics


KUALA LUMPUR: Drug addicts who volunteer for rehabilitation programmes at Cure & Care (C&C) clinics are not likely to suffer a relapse within a week unlike those sent to Pusat Serenti, says Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Medicine dean Prof Dr Adeeba Kamarulzaman.

She said C&C clinics which allow drug users to seek treatment without being detained or prosecuted have demonstrated that 50% who attend the programmes don’t suffer a relapse in a year, while the other half are able to return to become useful members of society.
