KAJANG: The new National Anti-Drug Agency Mobile Recovery Treatment service will be expanded nationwide, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin .“We aim to expand it further. We have identified 110 officers who will be placed in the AADK MRT teams at state headquarters nationwide,” he said after launching the service yesterday.The pilot project for the new service was conducted last year in prisons and got a good response, he added.

He also said that based on this year’s Drug Addiction Prevalence Study, for every drug user or addict known to authorities – four others remained undetected. “Some 123,139 drug users and addicts were detected last year, thus based on the ratio, at least 492,556 others are still not receiving treatment.“A total of 69.8% of the drug users are on synthetic drugs. It is even more worrying that 66% of total drug users are those aged between 19 and 39,” he noted.“On average, about 15,000 clients completed their treatment. However, some 65% relapsed.

“Among the factors identified are lack of family support, society’s negative perception, the addict’s attitude and peer pressure,” he said.“New methods can be achieved through cooperation among the relevant agencies. We must focus on reducing the number of addicts and strike those who are involved in drug trafficking,” he said.
