Quality is more important

I refer to the article in The Jakarta Post on Oct. 8, 1999
titled Drug rehab center turns away addicts. The title was
inaccurate and misleading. Therefore, we need to clarify the
state of affairs.

It is true that the facility for drug addicts can only take 40
patients. In fact, that is how it was planned. We believe more in
quality rather than quantity. We could certainly expand to take
in more addicts, but at the moment, the expertise available in
Indonesia is still very limited.

So far we have not turned anyone away. There is still room for
12 people. However, everyone who enters our program, obviously
seeking recovery, are there out of their own free will rather
than being forced to do it.
