Gyeonggi Province conducted training to cultivate experts in drug addiction management.

On the 12th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it held expert training for 231 drug addiction management practitioners from the Basic Addiction Management Integrated Support Center, Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency, public health centers, and others at the Gyeonggi Human Resources Development Institute in Suwon.

The training was organized by the Gyeonggi Addiction Management Integrated Support Center and the Gyeonggi Mental Health Welfare Center.

The first training program of the day covered understanding narcotics and drug addiction, case management for narcotics and drug addiction subjects, and prevention education.

The second training program, scheduled for the 21st, will focus on the current legal system and improvements for prevention management and treatment of narcotics and drug addiction subjects, as well as recovery and rehabilitation for narcotics and drug addiction subjects in the community.

Lee Eojinbit, Director of Mental Health at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The number of nationwide narcotics-related law enforcement cases, a recent social issue, reached 2,858 as of the end of June 2023, an 8.5% increase compared to the same period last year, indicating that the harm caused by drug addiction is also gradually increasing. However, there is an absurd shortage of professionals for addiction prevention and recovery, so Gyeonggi Province has started education to cultivate drug addiction experts."

Gyeonggi Province plans to develop and operate more in-depth and substantial training programs next year, starting with this narcotics and drug addiction expert training.
