Drug Rehabilitation Kuwait

As with most countries in the world Kuwait has seen a significant rise in drug related crime and abuse. Kuwait is even considering random drug testing in primary schools as a possible means of battling the problem as reported in the Gulf Daily News.

Kuwait being one of the more Westernized of the gulf states does have some services for people struggling with drug addiction. Recently the new 200 bed Kuwait Psychological Medicine Hospital was constructed to help combat the problem with 200 beds broken down into 3 court admission wards, 2 voluntary wards, a dual-diagnosis ward and a female ward. They also offer family programs and out patient programs to the local population.

In a 2002 report it was estimated that 1% of Kuwaitis were addicted or dependent on illegal or prescription drugs. Including a WHO report stating that 16% of the hospital treated patients were admitted for abuse and addiction of sedatives and tranquillizers. Based on the average population addicted to or experiencing difficulties with drug addiction and/or drug abuse around the world the Kuwaitis 1% figure sounds extremely low and could be more due to lack of reporting rather then actual number.

Drug Enforcement in Kuwait

In the New York Times in 2001 there was more then 10,000 pounds of Hashish confiscated by the authorities as well as heroin, cocaine, marijuana, opium and prescription pills. Kuwait enforces the death penalty for drug trafficking and it is reported that at least 14 people were executed between 1998 and 2007 for drug trafficking, the majority foreign nationals. No one has been executed in Kuwait since 2007, there are 3 people on death row however as of 2010.

Treatment for Drug Addiction Kuwait

As stated above there is some local treatment for drug addiction in Kuwait, primarily in the psychiatric hospitals. Unfortunately due to the local stigma on drug addiction and use in Kuwait, many people are afraid to seek help and do not want it reported that they are experiencing problems with drug addiction and use. Many will not even admit that they are having a problem to their family.

Fortunately in 1999 the law on how to deal with drug addicted patients changed from criminal to a person that needs treatment as reported in the Kuwait Times by Dr. Homoud Al-Qashan. Where he claims it was a move in the right direction but at the time there were only 57 beds in the hospitals to treat Kuwaiti addicts and more then 300 people called in, most were sent home without any help.

Best drug rehab centre for Kuwaitis

The main option for many Kuwaitis seeking help with their drug addiction is to head oversea for treatment. The benefits to this are that they can obtain world class treatment with international experts in the field with no worries about the local stigma if their colleagues or family become aware of their addition.

Until recent times the options were limited however to people who could speak a high degree of English and had the financial capability to travel to America or the Untied Kingdom for treatment.
