Wangkheimayum Ole had drug addicts in mind when his parents and relatives provided the fund to set up a rehabilitation centre in 2018. In less than four years, the centre has graduated to treating alcoholics and mobile phone addicts.
An ex-addict who had escaped from Manipur’s drug deaddiction centres 42 times before changing for the better, Mr. Ole claims to be one of the most qualified persons in the State to run a rehab. But he did not know what to do when a man deposited his teenage son – a Class 10 student – at the Realize Rehabilitation Centre (RRC) about eight months ago.
RRC is at Mongjam Chingjin, a village about 13 km north from the State capital Imphal.
