THE Salvation Army is planning to set-up an addiction treatment program in Fiji early next year.

This was announced yesterday by the organisation’s divisional commander, Alister Irwin.

He said conversations for the New Zealand Government to fund the program have been very positive.

He said the plan was to employ Fijians to work within the addiction treatment program.

Mr Irwin said they have also tried to set up a Memorandum of Understanding with St Giles Psychiatric Hospital.
