KV Navya ByExpress News ServiceCHENNAI: On June 1, a suspended police constable died at a de-addiction centre in Tiruchy. “The private rehabilitation centres charge at least Rs 10,000 - Rs 15,000 a month and only government hospitals are affordable for many people. He said that most of the de-addiction centres in the city lack a close monitoring system, trained psychiatrists or proper food for the patients. “I was in three de-addiction centres — Guindy, Porur and Tambaram — and not even one centre had a psychiatrist round the clock. Due to lack of expert care, many de-addiction centres rely on Antabuse drug to reform the addicts..
