Thirty-five individuals have completed a three-month outpatient drug rehabilitation program mandated by the local government of Lapu-Lapu. The program, part of a broader initiative to address substance abuse in the city, required participants to attend regular sessions and undergo medical evaluations.
The rehabilitation program was launched in response to rising concerns about drug-related issues in Lapu-Lapu. Local authorities reported an increase in cases of drug use among young adults, prompting the implementation of stricter measures. The outpatient format allowed participants to continue working or attending school while receiving treatment.
Lapu-Lapu has been working to improve public health services in recent years. The city’s local government has partnered with health organizations to provide free or subsidized rehabilitation services. This latest program marks one of the largest efforts to date in addressing addiction within the community. The success of the program has been measured by the number of participants who completed the full three-month course.
