In 2023, 2,191 drug offenders were admitted to the Drug Rehabilitation Center (DRC) in Singapore, compared to 639 who were admitted to prison. The DRC is a part of Singapore's prison system and caters specifically to those who were caught abusing drugs. As of January 2019, repeat drug offenders without other criminal convictions would be sent to the DRC for rehabilitation instead of long-term imprisonment.
