13 Rehabilitation Centers Set up in Kiambu

Kiambu county has set up 13 centers that will provide rehabilitation support to recovering addicts.

This follows the emerging need of a support system for alcoholics left vulnerable to withdrawal symptoms after the nationwide crackdown of second generation alcohol.

The swoop on illicit brews began when president Uhuru Kenyatta sanctioned it last week, Thursday.

While most Kenyans went happily about the destroying of the alcohol, most of those who were dependent were left suffering.

Some of the withdrawal symptoms were so bad that victims got hospitalized.
