Negative stigma prevents drug addicts from seeking treatment, says Khairy

KLANG: Negative stigma among members of society towards drug abuse and addiction is one of the factors that prevent those involved from seeking professional treatment and help for their problems, says Khairy Jamaluddin.

The Health Minister said if these individuals admit that they were addicts, there will probably be legal consequences as well, where they will be arrested, as that is what they think in their minds.
