Furthermore, drug users who voluntarily surrender, are made to undergo community-based drug rehabilitation. Drug-free barangays, on the other hand, are those that are no longer affected by illegal drugs based on the vetting and confirmation made by the ROCBDC. However, the current status of these barangays is not permanent. These will be placed under constant monitoring by the ROCBDC.
