KUALA LUMPUR — The National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) will organise a Special Family Visit Session for clients undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at Narcotics Addiction Rehabilitation Centres (PUSPEN) nationwide in conjunction with the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.
AADK Director-General Datuk Ruslin Jusoh said the initiative is aimed at strengthening family bonds while providing emotional and moral support to clients participating in the Institutional Treatment and Rehabilitation Programme (RPDI).
“The special visit session allows families or guardians to meet their loved ones and see for themselves the positive progress achieved by clients during their rehabilitation process,” he said in a media statement today.
According to Ruslin, the programme also provides an opportunity for families to interact directly with the clients in a warm and supportive environment, which can contribute positively to their recovery journey.
The visit sessions will be held according to the following schedule:
- March 29 to April 2 – Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah
- March 30 to April 3 – Pahang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Federal Territories, Perak, Johor, Penang, Perlis, Sabah and Sarawak
Families or guardians wishing to participate are encouraged to contact the respective PUSPEN rehabilitation officers through telephone, SMS, WhatsApp, letter or email to arrange their visit.
Members of the public can also contact the AADK hotline at 1-800-22-2235 or 019-626 2233 (WhatsApp) for further information, advice or to report drug-related issues.
AADK said the programme reflects the agency’s continued commitment to supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals recovering from drug addiction with the support of their families.
