Lecturer Dr. Anas Fikri highlighted the communicable diseases resulting from the use of narcotic drugs and how they are transmitted by the methods of taking them; the diseases that result from using these drugs; and other negative health effects, as well as the death rate, prevention of complications and treatments.
The workshop relied on brainstorming ideas, whereby the lecturer encouraged and called upon inmates to suggest the problems, difficulties and obstacles that drug addicts may face during the recovery period.
