The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) has adopted a new approach for drug addicts participating in its programs by providing treatment and rehabilitation-based programs.

According to Nurshuhaila Ab Rahman, the director of Sungai Besi Drug Rehabilitation Centre (PUSPEN), the previous AADK program was "regimented" and difficult for trainees to follow.

She said the new approach is more humane, fun, and effective, and it focuses on nine components that meet the psychological, emotional, and behavioural needs of the trainees.
