The Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) of Bataraza is strengthening partnerships with neighboring local government units, government agencies and other institutions to improve rehabilitation and community reintegration programs for individuals undergoing recovery.
The initiative aims to improve coordination among LGUs and partner agencies, including the sharing of programs and experiences and the implementation of interventions for people undergoing rehabilitation and reintegration.
Bataraza LGU said the strengthened network is also intended to improve referral systems, monitoring and aftercare support for rehabilitation program beneficiaries.
“Pinatitibay ng Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) ng Bataraza ang pakikipagtulungan nito sa mga karatig na Local Government Units (LGUs), mga ahensya ng pamahalaan, at iba pang katuwang na institusyon upang higit na mapalakas ang mga hakbang para sa rehabilitasyon, pagbabagong-buhay, at community reintegration,” the LGU said.
The municipal government emphasized that sustained support from families, barangays, LGUs and communities is necessary to help individuals undergoing rehabilitation return to their families and participate productively in society.
“Binigyang-diin din sa inisyatiba ang kahalagahan ng tuloy-tuloy na suporta mula sa pamilya, barangay, LGU, at komunidad upang makatulong sa mga indibidwal na makabalik nang maayos sa kanilang pamilya at maging produktibong bahagi ng lipunan,” it said.
Through MADAC, Bataraza said it is pursuing a coordinated, community-based approach that covers not only prevention and intervention but also rehabilitation and long-term reintegration.
“Sa pamamagitan ng MADAC, patuloy na isinusulong ng Pamahalaang Bayan ng Bataraza ang isang koordinado at community-based na approach sa pagtugon sa usapin ng ilegal na droga na hindi lamang nakatuon sa prevention at intervention, kundi maging sa rehabilitasyon at pangmatagalang reintegration,” the LGU said.
Bataraza LGU said stronger ties among local governments and partner agencies are expected to help ensure that people in rehabilitation programs receive appropriate referrals, monitoring, aftercare and other forms of support.
“Ang mas matibay na ugnayan ng mga LGU at partner agencies ay mahalagang hakbang upang matiyak ang mas maayos na referral, monitoring, aftercare, at iba pang kinakailangang suporta para sa mga benepisyaryo ng mga programang rehabilitasyon,” it said.
