BRODER INITIATIVE EXPANDS WITH ANOTHER BATCH OF PDLs AT BAYUGAN CITY JAIL

Another batch of the Basic Rehabilitation for Detainees Enticing Recovery (BRODER) Initiative is currently underway at the Bayugan City Jail, with sessions held every Monday from 2:00–4:00 PM.

Facilitated by the Substance Use Recovery and Enlightenment (SURE) Program, the initiative engages persons deprived of liberty (PDLs), particularly those with cases related to RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002), in a structured and supportive environment that promotes recovery. Each session integrates psychoeducation and support group meetings, enabling participants to build a deeper understanding of substance use while openly sharing their experiences and learning from one another.

Through meaningful conversations and guided sessions, participants were encouraged to reflect on their experiences, recognize their strengths, and take ownership of their recovery. The activity highlights that even within confinement, growth, healing, and hope remain possible.

The Provincial Anti-Drug Abuse Council (PADAC) of Agusan del Sur continues to reinforce its commitment to building drug-resilient communities as it strengthens its anti-drug initiatives and successfully retains its high functionality rating in the 2025 Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) Performance Audit. The results, announced in last February, affirm the province’s sustained and collaborative efforts in addressing the drug problem.

ENHANCING ACCESS TO RECOVERY SUPPORT: CONDUCT OF MOBILE FAMILY SESSION AT STA. JOSEFA, AGUSAN DEL SUR

On March 28, 2026, a mobile family session was conducted for CODA families at Poblacion, Sta. Josefa, Agusan del Sur. The activity aimed to reach clients and their families from far-flung municipalities by delivering family psychoeducation and support group sessions within their locality.

The psychoeducation provided an overview of the nature of addiction and emphasized the role of the family in the recovery process. The session also offered a space for families to engage, share experiences, and strengthen their capacity to support their loved ones.

This activity was conducted in coordination with LGU Sta. Josefa as part of ongoing efforts to improve access to recovery support services.
