Propaganda panels on how to prevent and fight with
drugs
The plan includes 6 groups of major solutions. In
addition to promoting the dissemination of propaganda information, education and
prevention, especially focusing on disseminating propaganda information in
residential areas, schools, businesses, drug detoxification establishments,
bars, discos and so on, it is essential to implement drug withdrawal and drug
addiction treatment in families and communities effectively according to Decree
no. 94 of the government, and establish and operate drug detoxification
facilities in the community at district levels and points that give counseling
and help with drug addiction treatment in the community at communal levels.
The provincial People’s Committee also sets out key
tasks: strengthening the leadership and direction of the Party and authorities
at all levels, the active participation of sectors, unions and communities in
the execution of legal policies on drug prevention, treatment, rehabilitation
and post-detoxification management.
Also, it is necessary to continue to call for all
people to actively join hands in preventing, controlling and fighting with, and
denouncing drug-related crimes; mobilize drug addicts to voluntarily register
for appropriate detoxification forms; effectively implement the treatment
program for drug addicts; encourage enterprises to join hands in vocational
training and job creation for people after detoxification; diversifying forms of
mobilizing and calling for the participation and contributions of people, drug
addicts’ families, and communities to drug detoxification work, integrating with
socio-economic development programs like poverty reduction, vocational training,
and job creation. In addition, it is essential to review and re-evaluate the
effectiveness of treatment programs for drug addicts and, well carry out the
construction of communes, wards and townships, and prevent and control social
evils, drug addiction, prostitution and so on, thereby adjusting and giving
appropriate measures and policies.
Also, it is necessary to improve the quality and
effectiveness of post-detoxification activities and treatment; strengthen
management measures and help people to reintegrate into the community after
detoxification; well implement post-detoxification management, especially the
coordination between drug detoxification establishments and local authorities
with vocational training institutions and enterprises; create favorable
conditions for post-detoxification drug users to get vocationally trained,
participate in labor and production activities and finding stable jobs.
In particular, People’s Committees of districts,
Long Khanh city, and Bien Hoa city and organizations and unions are supposed to
effectively receive, support, and help to manage people after detoxification to
ensure that 100% of drug addicts are managed in their localities through
appropriate forms after they return to their community with the aim of
minimizing the rate of re-addiction.
Implementing synchronous solutions is to improve the
management of drug users and drug addicts to curb the increasing number of new
drug users and addicts; reform and improve the province’s drug detoxification
and post-detoxification management in the province; diversify treatment forms
towards gradually increasing the number of people providing community treatment
and encouraging voluntary detoxification at detoxification establishments to
gradually reduce compulsory detoxification cases; improve the effectiveness of
drug addiction treatment, manage students in drug addiction treatment
facilities, focus on giving counseling, career advice, vocational training and
job recommendation to students and help them to seek for opportunities to find
or create jobs for themselves when returning to the community; diversify forms
of treatment, drug detoxification, and so on, thereby effectively implementing
the 3-reduction targets: reducing supply, demand and harmful effects of drugs.
