LE CENTRE

The Dr Idrice Goomany Treatment Centre is a non-governmental organisation which came into operation on 16th April 1986 in response to a major increase in the incidence of brown sugar use (adulterated form of heroin) particularly among people living in the peripheral regions of Port Louis.  The primary goal of the Centre consists of reducing the demand for licit and illicit psychoactive substances in Mauritius through prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and harm reduction programmes.
