Adolph Edward Plaza led the inauguration of the Agusan del Sur Residential Treatment and Rehabilitation Center (RTRC) inside the headquarters of the 401st Infantry Brigade. Cane said the Army camp, where the rehab center is located, has been offered by Mr. Duterte for government agencies and local government units to use to address the growing number of drug addicts who yielded to police nationwide. The RTRC, however, would only be a temporary facility until the provincial government had finished a permanent structure to house a rehabilitation center. The RTRC will complement the already congested Regional Drug Rehabilitation Center in Surigao City operated by the Department of Health. “I consider this as my second life,” said a man in his 40s, who volunteered admission to the drug rehab program of the provincial government.
