KUCHING: The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) will organise a special visitation session for families or guardians of AADK clients undergoing the In-Centre Treatment and Recovery Programmes (RPDI) at all 30 Narcotic Addiction Recovery Centres (PUSPEN) nationwide.
The family visitation session, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, will take place from April 15 to 19 at PUSPEN locations in Pahang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Federal Territories, Perak, Penang, Perlis, Sabah and Sarawak. Additionally, it will run from April 14 to 18 at PUSPEN centres in Kelantan, Terengganu, Johor and Kedah.
“The purpose of these family visits is to strengthen the bond between clients and their families, provide moral and emotional support, and allow families to witness the progress of clients undergoing the AADK RPDI programme,” according to a statement on today (April 1).
Family visits also offer an opportunity for families or guardians and clients to interact intimately, serving as a therapeutic approach to support the clients’ recovery.
“Therefore, AADK requests all families or guardians who wish to participate in these Family Visitation Sessions to contact the Recovery Officer at their respective PUSPEN via phone call, SMS, WhatsApp message, letter, or email.”
Members of the public can also reach out to the relevant PUSPEN for further information about these Family Visitation Sessions or contact the AADK Hotline at 1-800-22-AADK (2235) or 019-626 2233 (WhatsApp) for counseling services or to report drug-related issues.
