Standing Beside Recovery – A Journey Back to Life
As part of a joint initiative between the Herat Provincial Department of Public Health and local police forces, a campaign was launched to collect individuals suffering from drug addiction off the streets. Most of them were homeless, rejected by their families, or deported from neighboring countries.
These individuals were transferred to a designated rehabilitation camp, where—with the special support of the Herat Public Health Department, especially Dr. Hossein—medical and psychological care teams were established and treatment officially began.
I was also part of one of the teams assigned by the Public Health Department. Alongside doctors and counselors, we were responsible for supporting part of this process. Twice a week, we visited the patients, listened to their stories, offered counseling, and helped deliver medication and care under the supervision of the medical team.
My previous experience working with women and children helped me approach this new role with greater empathy and effectiveness. This opportunity not only allowed us to serve our community, but also became a powerful new experience—one that deepened our understanding of hidden pain and the silent hopes of those seeking a second chance at life.
