Re: National rehab centre to open in Sihanoukville.
Sounds kinda legit, but I get weird shivers from "Shawshank Redemption" when I think about it.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.
Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Re: National rehab centre to open in Sihanoukville.
Addiction clinics are available but are not being used, mainly because the clinics are not well advertised and there is not enough information on the benefits of medical assistance for those who want to stop taking drugs.
Uptake of addiction centres still low
20 December 2017
On Monday morning, Dek Sarun was waiting for patients inside the Phsar Doeum Thkov health centre, but none showed up.
“We have no clients today,” the psychiatric nurse said in his small office tucked in the back of a building that houses a community-based drug treatment centre.
The centre is one of more than 170 nationwide that provides mental health and addiction services to drug users trying to get clean – when it has people to treat.
Since the start of a drug crackdown at the beginning of the year, the government has pledged to send “light” users to public community-based treatment facilities. With their families promising to take the suspects to treatment, they can avoid Cambodia’s overcrowded prisons or infamous involuntary rehab centres.
But despite there having been 17,387 drug-related arrests during the crackdown as of Monday according to statistics from the National Authority for Combating Drugs, Dr Chhit Sophal at the Ministry of Health said just 2,873 people have used state-run community-based treatment services this year.
Among those, some have volunteered for treatment on their own without having been caught up in the drug crackdown – like one 15-year-old yesterday whose mother took him to the clinic for help – meaning as a percentage of those arrested, those being diverted into treatment is even smaller than it appears.
In all, 79 percent of users who received some form of drug treatment ended up in much-maligned rehab centres. These involuntary drug detention centres were found to be rife with abuse, sexual violence and forced labour by a Human Rights Watch investigation in 2012.
Sophal, who is the director of the Health Ministry’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, attributed the low number of drug users getting treatment at the community-based centres to a lack of awareness among law enforcement and prosecutors about the location of the facilities, as well as lack of understanding among residents of the benefits of alternative drug treatment...
