A CNA article highlights that drug offenders in Singapore who undergo rehabilitation in halfway houses are less likely to reoffend after release compared to those who do not. These halfway houses provide structured support, including counselling, vocational training, and community integration programmes, which contribute to the lower recidivism rates. The Singapore Prison Service emphasises the importance of such community-based programmes in aiding the reintegration of former drug offenders into society.
HCSA Highpoint Halfway House is among the facilities featured for its impactful work. It supports male ex-offenders and recovering drug addicts through a structured six-month programme designed to assist in their reintegration into society. The article shares the journey of one resident who turned his life around with the help of HCSA Community Services’ supportive environment.
