Why Skills Matter
At Punjab Red Cross IRCA Kurali, we believe treatment is only half the journey. True reintegration happens when an individual regains their dignity through work. By linking our patients with vocational training and employment exchanges, we ensure they have the economic stability needed to prevent returning to drug use.
Work provides a sense of purpose, a structured routine, and a positive identity—all of which are critical components of long-term sobriety.
