Incheon District Prosecutors' Office - Incheon Chamsarang Hospital, "Close Cooperation in Treating Juvenile Drug Offenders"

The Incheon District Prosecutors' Office announced on the 13th that it will establish a cooperative relationship with Incheon Chamsarang Hospital to treat juvenile drug offenders.

On the same day, Song Kang, Chief Prosecutor of the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office, visited Incheon Chamsarang Hospital in Seo-gu, a treatment and protection institution for drug addicts, to assess the current state of drug addiction treatment and to check the progress of the "Juvenile Drug Offender Treatment Program" signed with the hospital in July.

The Incheon District Prosecutors' Office will request diagnostic tests from the hospital to determine whether juvenile drug offenders can receive treatment, and will provide customized treatment programs to juveniles deemed suitable for treatment.

This program is the first juvenile drug treatment program introduced nationwide and can be received for up to one year. Incheon Chamsarang Hospital conducts neuropsychological tests, psychiatric counseling treatment, educational programs, and family counseling for the targeted juveniles, and reports the progress to the prosecutors and the Incheon Probation Office.

The prosecutors and the Incheon Probation Office plan to continuously monitor the treatment progress and improve the program. Juvenile drug crimes are on the rise, and there is a great need to actively combine treatment to prevent recidivism; however, there has been no specialized drug treatment program for juveniles until now.

An official from the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office stated, "We will closely cooperate with the hospital so that juvenile drug offenders in Incheon can overcome addiction and become healthy members of society."
