The 50 individuals who completed the program received comprehensive counseling, life skills training, and ongoing support designed to aid their transition back into society. This marks a significant milestone in the government’s strategy to tackle drug addiction and its far-reaching impact on communities.

The Ministry has pledged to provide continued assistance to the discharged individuals, offering access to education and employment pathways to ensure their long-term recovery and successful reintegration into society.

This initiative is seen as a concrete step towards creating drug-free communities in Sierra Leone and signals a positive cultural shift in how addiction is addressed and those in need are supported. By offering comprehensive support and opportunities for growth, the Ministry is setting a precedent for effectively tackling complex issues like drug abuse.

The Ministry of Social Welfare highlighted that this development underscores the government’s commitment to promoting the well-being of its citizens and fostering a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
