The City Social Welfare and Development Office reported that some 648 former drug personalities completed their six-month community-based rehabilitation program that allowed them to be immersed back with the mainstream society and live normal lives.

BAGUIO CITY –

Dayag said those who did not complete the program reportedly experienced relapse but efforts are still being undertaken by the concerned agencies and the city government to bring them back to the program to spare them from the dangers of drug use. According to Dayag, drug dependents who are low risk shall undergo a 30-day rehabilitation program administered by concerned experts duly accredited by the CSWDO, Baguio City Police Office and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency , while medium risk will have to undergo a six-month integrated participatory community-based rehabilitation program.

Dayag said there are enough private residential facilities that cater to the rehabilitation needs of drug dependents since there is no public residential drug treatment facility in the Summer Capital.
