Col Al Qasimi said the department spares no effort to rehabilitate and integrate reformed drug addicts in society. “They are all subjected to regular check-ups to make sure that they don't use drugs again."
As per article 43 of the federal anti-narcotics law, no lawsuit shall be filed against any drug abuser who willingly seeks help from the police or public prosecution.
