Speaking separately with this paper over the weekend, Jonas Kessy, one of the recovering drug addicts said the centres have played crucial roles in doing away with drug addiction and indulgence.
The 30-year-old, who is also a volunteer with Dunia Moja Pamoja (DPM) a Non Government Organisation that creates public awareness on the dangers of drug addiction called on the government to support sober houses in the country.
“Sober homes should never be closed because they have helped us recover from addiction, instead the government needs to support these centres in fighting the vice,” he argued.
Kessy who was addicted at the age of 14, insisted that sober houses were the only solace for drug addicts to recover as they embark on journeys and missions of fighting drug abuse.
Kassim Hashim, another drug addict from DPM said if it was not for the sober houses, he would still be using the outlawed drugs.
“I have been to a sober house before and I can testify how these homes are trying to reshape us,” he said.
According to Kassim, it was easy for a drug addict to change and do away with the addiction when put in a sober house than be put in a jail.
The drug addicts also took time to commend authorities for instituting crackdown on narcotics, urging the national security and defense forces to apprehend all suspects irrespective of their status.
They have also called on the government to increase number of the sober houses in the country.
