Centers claiming to offer treatment for drug addiction have been popping up in Egypt, particularly over the last two months. The staff at these places are neither doctors nor specialists and pretend to be qualified even though they are unlicensed. Their work is a clear violation of Egyptian law, by which any medical facility must be under the supervision of a licensed physician.
These centers have been widely visited by addicts seeking treatment away from the prying eyes of their families and communities. In a bid to avoid society’s judgment, they opt for such private treatment centers.
