TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION FOR DRUG ADDICT

   
 

The National Dangerous Drugs Control Board, Government hospitals, Department of Prisons, Ayurvedic Research Institute and several NGOs are involved in this aspect of drug rehabilitation. There is no provision for compulsory treatment for drug dependants in Sri Lanka . Treatment is entirely on a voluntary basis. At times due to the request made by aggrieved party, Courts refer abusers for treatment.

Mr. D.P. Mendis heads this board.
