COMMUNITY-BASED DRUG REHABILITATION PROGRAM (CBDRP): ASSESSMENT, PROFILING, AND SCREENING FOR BATCH 4

The Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Dapa has officially commenced the Screening, Profiling, and Assessment for the 4th Batch of our Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation Program (CBDRP).

This vital kickoff is done in close coordination and collaboration with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) through our Municipal Local Government Operations Officer (MLGOO) Ma’am Marjorie A. Dalagan, alongside our active Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (BADAC).

Through this joint inter-agency effort, our healthcare team and Local Government Unit of Dapa are currently conducting comprehensive evaluations to establish the baseline health and psychosocial profiles of our new participants.

🔍 Inside the Batch 4 Launch Phase:
• Socio-Demographic Profiling: Documenting individual backgrounds to create personalized care paths.
• Standardized Health Screening: Administering DOH-accredited assessment tools to evaluate specific risk levels.
• Strategic Risk Stratification: Categorizing clients to match them with the exact counseling, wellness, or referral services they require.

We highly commend our Batch 4 participants for stepping forward and embracing this opportunity for a healthier, brighter future. RHU Dapa and the DILG guarantee strict medical confidentiality and a compassionate, supportive environment for everyone involved.

Together, let's build a safer, healthier, and drug-free Dapa! 💪
