The Narcotics Control Commission has sent a message of hope to young people struggling with drug use. They are urging them to seek professional help.
Director-General of NACOC, Maj. Gen. Maxwell Obuba Mantey, spoke at the National Youth Forum. He told the young attendees that recovery from substance abuse is possible.
Maj. Gen. Mantey encouraged early intervention. He stressed that seeking help sooner rather than later can lead to better outcomes.
The commission aims to destigmatize seeking treatment for addiction. They want to create an environment where young people feel safe to ask for support.
