Inside Myanmar's Tough Love Approach to Drug Rehabilitation

Credited from: SCMP

  • "Metta Saneain," known as the "House of Love," is a unique rehab centre in Yangon that employs tough love to combat drug addiction.
  • Following a strict regimen of exercise, meditation, and communal activities, patients engage in weightlifting, karate drills, and dance.
  • The facility responds to Myanmar's escalating drug crisis, now the world's leading opium producer amid ongoing conflict since the military coup.
  • Despite the centre's rigorous environment, experts suggest rehabilitation must be tailored to individual needs for long-term success.
  • With treatment costs ranging from 400,000 to 1 million kyat (about US$190 to US$475), over 200 individuals have been rehabilitated in the past year.
