According to information from the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department (Ministry of Public Security), currently, the country has 97 drug rehabilitation facilities.

Based on the survey and assessment, it is shown that many rehabilitation facilities have degraded, are overloaded, and do not meet rehabilitation requirements; some localities do not have rehabilitation facilities or have to perform many functions; the current arrangement and organization of rehabilitation facilities is not reasonable; rehabilitation facilities in some localities are located in other localities, leading to ineffective rehabilitation work...

After transferring the state management function of drug addiction treatment and post-treatment management to the Ministry of Public Security, the goal is to make a clear qualitative change in drug addiction treatment work, better organize and manage human resources, and overcome difficulties and shortcomings in this work.

Rehabilitation facilities will be reorganized to ensure synchronous, unified, consistent, streamlined, effective and efficient operations. Thereby, 97 drug rehabilitation facilities equivalent to department level have been arranged into 77 team-level units managed by the police of provinces and cities.
