Denpasar, Bali (Antara Bali) - Head of Bali`s National Narcotics Agency (BNN) Police Brigadier General I Gusti Ketut Budiartha affirmed that a rehabilitation center to treat drug addicts will be built in 2015.
"It is expected that the construction will be started in mid or end of 2015 as the special correctional institution for narcotics will be operated in Bangli district," he stated here Monday.
According to Budiartha, the drug prisoners can be treated at the rehabilitation center.
The drug addicts need to be treated for at least six months on an average to recover their physical and mental health at the center, but the time depends on the level of addiction.
"Usually a drug addict needs three months for medical rehab, including detoxification and memory recovery as generally the central nervous system is affected," Budiartha stated.
Until the end of 2014, the number of drug cases involving users and dealers reached 763. (WDY)
