Talwar, who visited the centre to review its working, also interacted with the patients admitted for treatment at the rehabilitation centre.
Highlighting the work being done at deaddiction and rehabilitation centres, the deputy commissioner said medicine is provided through an out-patient department and the same does away with need for hospitalisation, something he described as a boon for such treatments.

He also directed authorities to ensure cleanliness in the deaddiction centre.
The DC also inquired about the need for additional staff from the doctors stationed at the centre. He assured that in case of requirement, additional male staff nurses, ward attendants, security guards or counsellors would be provided by passing a resolution in district deaddiction and rehabilitation society, chaired by the DC himself, meeting.
The deputy medical commissioner Dr Diljit Singh, Dr Gurmukh Singh were among the officials present.
