ALCOHOL AND DRUG RECOVERY
Problem:
- Laos is part of the infamous "Golden Triangle" with China and Burma. It is one of the most extensive opium (used to make heroin) producing areas of Asia.
- Most Laotians brew their own liquor called "Lao Lao". It is pure rice alcohol and very potent.
- Many younger addicts are addicted to crystal methamphetamine aka "Meth" or "Crank"
Up until a year ago, Laos had no recovery, they now have a Rehab Center and a Sober Living Environment (SLE or Half-Way House)
Objectives:
- We will meet, encourage and support the recovering Alcoholics and Addicts at the Rehab Center and SLE
- Evaluate progress and needs of both locations for future support
