'Massive growth' in drug addiction


phoenix, GA (South Town) • 08/16/2008

Nine out of 10 South African teenagers in drug rehabilitation will revert to their addictions within a year, an expert working with young people said on Friday. "The drug rehabilitation system is not geared towards teenagers," Quintin van Kerken, spokesperson for Bokatie, a teenage rehabilitation centre in Douglasdale, Johannesburg, said. "And this is where the massive growth in addiction is evident." He estimated that there are at least 1 000 teenagers, from all walks of life, in rehabilitation in the Johannesburg area on any given day.
