Centre for Drug Counselling
Introduction
Under the lead of the Narcotics Division of the Security Bureau, the SWD helps the drug abusers to abstain from their drug-taking habits and re-integrate into the community through community-based and residential services by means of individual and group counselling, vocational training, social skills training and aftercare service, etc.
Two Centres for Drug Counselling (CDCs) in Hong Kong help drug abusers to abstain from drug abuse, assist ex-drug abusers to maintain abstinence and assist family members of drug abusers and ex-drug abusers to deal with problems resulting from drug abuse. Services provided include individual and group counselling; group activities; preventive education services to various target groups; and on-site medical support service to early identify and motivate drug abusers to seek early treatment and rehabilitation services.
