Therapy, high-tech equipment and education are at the frontline of the government's drive to help users quit drugs for good. Zhang Yan reports.

"I hate drugs because they ruined my family life and deprived me of my health and freedom," said Yang Mouxin, who is looking forward to being discharged from a drug rehabilitation center and reuniting with his family.

The 31-year-old is on the final stretch of a two-year compulsory program at the Beijing Tiantanghe Detoxification and Rehabilitation Center to wean him off methamphetamine, also known as "ice". He is set for release in early December.
