OFFICE OF THE COURT OF ADMINISTRATOR
9 January 1998
| TO : |
All Judges of the Regional Trial Courts
|
| SUBJECT: | Closure of the Anti-Narcotics and Reformation Network, Inc. (ANRREN) |
This Office has been informed, through a letter dated 23 December
1997 from the Acting Chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB), that
pursuant to a Resolution dated 20 March 1997 of the said Board, a Cease
and Desist Order had been issued against the Anti-Narcotics and
Reformation Network, Inc. (ANRREN), a private drug treatment and
rehabilitation center located at Pasig City, on the ground that it has
been operating without the appropriate accreditation or permit to
operate duly issued by the DDB. Subsequently, on 20 December 1997, the
closure of ANRREN was effected owing to its continued defiance of the
Cease and Desist Order.
The Dangerous Drugs Board has requested that the courts involved be
asked to stop ordering the confinement of any drug dependent for
treatment and/or rehabilitation to the ANRREN.
The foregoing considered, all judges concerned are hereby directed
to refrain from ordering the confinement of any drug dependent for
treatment and/or rehabilitation to the Anti-Narcotics and Reformation
Network, Inc.
For strict compliance.
