KABUL, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- A total of 44 drug-addicted people have been reintegrated into their families after receiving medical treatment and recovery in the central Daykundi province, said a statement of Afghanistan's Ministry for Interior Affairs on Sunday.

"The former 44 drug-addicted persons who were rounded up from different parts of Daykundi months ago and rehabilitated in the 200-bed rehabilitation center in the central region have been reintegrated with their families recently," the ministry said in a post on its X account.

The Afghan government, which has outlawed the cultivation of illegal crops, including opium poppy, drug production, and its trafficking, has rounded up thousands of drug-addicted persons and handed them to their families after rehabilitation over the past couple of years.
