The prevention unit of the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency has rehabilitated five narcotic drug addicts from addiction and reunites them with their families in Ganta.
According to the head of the Drug Abuse Prevention Unit in the leeward counties, Pastor Mathias Suomie, there were nine drug addicts taken to the recovery center in Boe Tuanwea Town, in Boe and Quillah Administrative District for rehabilitation, but five made it through the rehabilitation.
Boe Tuawea is located far away from Ganta and Sanniquellie, and or any areas where they can easily have access to drugs. According to the LDEA, a six-room apartment was rented to host the addicts as they go through the recovery process. One of the rehabilitated drug addicts, a former female LNP officer, thanked the LDEA for taking her off the street and a second chance to value life.
