OAS focuses on drug education and rehab
Oct 10, 2013
ST JOHN’S, Antigua - The treatment and rehabilitation of drug users is a major part of a new, holistic strategy Organization of American States (OAS) member are putting in place to address widespread drug abuse.
Head of the Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP) Colonel Edward Croft said demand for the drugs must be reduced and education at school level is an appropriate approach to begin combatting drug use.
“We need to make certain that we get to the school to prevent the children from wanting to experiment and go into the use of drugs. Secondly, if they do get into that then you want to ensure that you can provide some treatment for them …facilitate their rehabilitation,” Colonel Croft said yesterday.
