Across the nation, the government is building treatment and rehabilitation centers.
Suppressing demand, treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of people with an addiction are the goals of the centers.
Prof. Kithure Kindiki, the Interior Cabinet Secretary, stated that the National Government will collaborate with County Governments to guarantee that every 47 Counties has a Rehabilitation Center that provides reasonably priced, publicly funded services to individuals undergoing treatment and rehabilitation.
The CS stated that total suppression of supply and demand is a necessary component of the war on illegal alcohol, narcotic drugs, and psychotropic substances.
