Incentives for the Employment of Recovering Addicts

Learn about the available incentives for employing recovering drug addicts

“The project of rehabilitating drug addicts who have completed a rehabilitation and addiction recovery programme in a therapeutic community or prison system, and addicts who are receiving outpatient treatment, practising long-term abstinence and adhering to the prescribed treatment” is a project aimed at encouraging education and the employment of recovering addicts and their reintegration in the society.
