Grasping the situation of drug abuse and
young people working far away.
Regarding to the difficulties in the
controlling task to the drug abuse, the Deputy Head of the commune Police Force
said: "At present, there are about 600 people leaving the homeland to work
far away from home. Some teenagers and young people leave schools for working
manually at other places without registration or announcement to those places’
authorities. This causes many restrictions in information catching and human
controlling. If the communal people leave for working abroad or working at far
companies or factories, they all need to register their temporary absence
certified by the local authorities, people working in the mineral exploitation
fields have not declared so it is too difficult to manage.”
Facing with the above situation, the Commune
Police Committee has advised the Party Committee and the local authorities to
take many measures to prevent and repel drug abuse evils in the area. The
propaganda and popularization of knowledge about the harmful effects of drugs
have been promoted through integrating in meetings, conferences and stage forms
of propaganda for more than 1,000 people per year. The commune police regularly
call for suspected objects for testing, promptly detect new cases of addiction
to monitor and mobilize their families to go to detoxification, implementing
calling and and detering detainees.
There are currently 2 subjects voluntarily weaning off by themselves and 6
subjects must use compulsory detoxification at Drug Treatment Facility No. 2
who are being treated with drugs instead of methadone. There are no cases of
HIV / AIDS infection among drug abuse subjects. The commune police coordinates
with the mass organizations for propaganda among the members to raise vigilance
and efforts in participating in the fight against drug abuse evils.
