Center for Rehabilitation and Reintegration (CFRR) sponsor by Montserrado County Senator, A. Darius Dillon, has graduated 17 disadvantaged youth and drug users.
The graduation ceremony, which took place over the weekend, is the third exercise. The drug users underwent intensive detoxification and rehabilitation training at the Center.
The ceremony was attended by Senate Pro-tempore, Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence, Senator Jonathan B. Soigbe of River Gee, Montserrado County Superintendent, Whroway Bryant, and a representative from Ministry of Health.
Speaking at the event, Senator Dillon underscored the importance of providing support and opportunities for individuals battling addiction.
“To you, the parents treat your loved ones with care, encourage them, and do not be the cause for them to go into relapse. To the graduates, I urge you to be ambassadors of this place (CFRR). Encourage your friends out there to come to the Rehab,” Dillon said.
Senator Dillon disclosed that none of the clients who graduated has gone into relapse and CFRR does not just rehabilitate but also follow up on its graduates to ensure that they do not relapse.
For her part, Pro-tempore Nyonblee Karngar Lawrence reechoed the magnitude of the drug epidemic in the country stating that the sacrifice being rendered by Senator Dillon and other individuals is for the next generation of leaders.
