 About 30, 31 out of 100 stop-substance addicts have been given a new lease of life and reintegrated into the society. This is courtesy of the Christ Against Drug Abuse Ministry, Kaddam, an outreach of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG. Our correspondent, Jacinta Ubyoko captured the completion and graduation of beneficiaries from the various skill acquisitions put in place to restructure their lives, which held at the Inokanfulu-Adiboi Rehabilitation Center in Aragah, Equal Lagos. There are mainly social factors that have resulted in the abuse of drugs. This included declining family value systems, peer pressure, social media influence, poverty and unemployment, among others. These were once in that net until help came for them through the Christ Against Drug Abuse Ministry. Family and friends have come to witness the graduation of the fiftieth set of Kaddam, themed branded for Christ. Drug abuse among youths is already a time bomb waiting to detonate with devastating consequences if more consented efforts are not adopted to address the society's advice. There is also an urgent need to establish, support and encourage more rehabilitation centers across the country. The importance of drug demand reduction cannot be over-emphasized because if we continue to take out traffickers, as long as there is high demand for illicit drugs, a new set of traffickers will easily be recruited to feed that craving. Every effort to treat and rehabilitate drug users is welcome as it often delivers far-reaching results. We need support from everybody. Those who are graduating remember this Alma Mater, those who have graduated and from the general public too. Most of it's a faith-based driven program, NGO, but we expect that some of you will spread the good news so that we will be able to achieve this call to order. Some of the beneficiaries went back memory lane sharing their ideals in drug addiction. Me, I'm a go-go woman. I can't go for my life because when I was there, I was dying. People were really dying in the other house, like a cheeky cheeky. And I can't go today. Yes, you can see how we're all looking. Awesome. I can clearly remember when we came in here the first time. We were living horrible. Some people went through josephine for three, four weeks, seven, two months. They don't just know where they are. I'm going to tell you time, sleep well and I'll come home. Really, it almost took my life away. I dropped the pack, children from care and very young children. It wasn't easy at all. I had to adjust to a lot of things. I had to deal with a lot of things, open up to a lot of truth that I'd previously been in denial about. Things like how badly my substance abuse had damaged my life, damaged my family, things like that. I had to own up to all that and face those issues. Dr. Dokun Adedeji is the director of Kadam. He could not help but express his joy for the success achieved, but most of all urged that the society not discriminate against the survivors. When you see people that came in like wretch, and they see them transformed like this and then we are seeing this kind of beauty, it gives you absolute satisfaction. Society should understand that we need to give a second chance to these people. They are our children, they are husbands, they are wives. We can't throw them away. According to Dr. Adedeji, Kadam has created a continuous support system for the survivors that would enable them to thrive in their various acquired skills. Jacinta Ubuku, Plus TV News.
