October 16, Colombo (LNW): A dedicated facility aimed at supporting individuals battling drug addiction has officially opened its doors today (16) at the Senapura Rehabilitation Centre in Polonnaruwa.
The new initiative is designed to provide a structured environment for those who voluntarily seek help to overcome substance dependency.
Commissioner General of Rehabilitation Shiran Amit announced that individuals interested in entering the programme can register by contacting 076 96 277 61. The facility will cater specifically to those opting for self-rehabilitation, offering a supportive and non-judgemental setting for recovery.
This move stems from the national strategy to address the growing demand for addiction treatment services, as more individuals across Sri Lanka actively seek pathways to recovery. According to the Bureau of Rehabilitation, approximately 600 people are currently receiving treatment across the country’s three operational centres, a number that continues to rise.
