Substance Abuse
Cuba offers unique opportunities in the fight against substance addiction and in the treatment of substance addiction.
Thanks to its tough laws, control mechanisms, and high border and customs security, Cuba has greatly reduced the shipment and spread of narcotics within the country. In comparison to most western countries, it has a much cleaner and controlled market, and it is almost impossible for young people to access addictive substances.
Thanks to government investment and an experienced workforce, professional substance abuse treatment centers in Cuba are very effective, and patients and their relatives receive fast and efficient results.
​
Furthermore, due to its climate, location and culture, Cuba is a country that offers patients seeking substance abuse treatment a unique environment that is extremely positive, far from the outside world and bad interactions, peaceful, peaceful and nature-friendly.
Cuba helps patients with expert staff in its three-month program for addiction treatment. Patients with addiction are primarily instilled with a sense of responsibility and self-confidence, and are encouraged to develop their hobbies. No medication is used in the treatment.
