KABUL, June 6 (Xinhua) -- At least 800 drug users have made a full recovery at a rehabilitation center in southern Afghanistan's Zabul province, the state-run Bakhtar news agency reported Friday.
According to the report, recently 30 drug users, after receiving medical treatment and rehabilitation, as well as receiving professional and vocational training, have reunited with their families.
Afghanistan, a country deeply affected by decades of war and civil strife, is reportedly home to more than 3 million drug addicts. To overcome the challenge, the Afghan interim government, which has banned poppy cultivation and drug trafficking, has committed to eradicating drug production and addiction.
