Doc, ain't there some kind of cure for drinkers?

They have music for dipsomaniacs and music for melancholiacs and music for hypochondriacs.

Me, I can drink, only others become alcoholics.

So it becomes quite rational to deny services to injectors.

A community monitoring system has been formed, in an effort to keep the relapse rate at a lower level.

(Laughter)

We offer public information services and support services for governmental and non governmental organizations.

Moreover, we have established care centres in several provinces and have opened a pilot reception and orientation centre for addicts and their families.

Curative efforts, meanwhile, were coordinated between the Ministries of Health and Social Development and the anti drug administration, in order to provide services for drug addicts with a view to their social reintegration.

18. Many programmes world wide emphasize the importance of social reintegration of former addicts who have undergone treatment.

All treatment programmes of the Centre for the Treatment of Addicted People provide parallel programmes of family support, addressing people of the immediate family environment of the addicted (parents, brothers and sisters, children, companions husbands), which have about the same duration as the corresponding treatment programmes.

The deaths, the physical and moral destruction, the delinquency resulting from drugs and the social marginalization of addicts all affect our countries whether they are producers, processors and sellers of drugs, or intermediaries for drugs, including drug processing products.

Different results have been reached for other drugs, with the twelve steps being less beneficial for addicts to illicit substances, and least beneficial to those addicted to the physiologically and psychologically addicting opioids, for which maintenance therapies are the gold standard of care.

14. A range of projects, which include research, training and actual programme development, are undertaken to operationalize the ILO strategy on rehabilitation using quot return to work quot as the main vehicle in the process of social reintegration of recovering addicts.
