The government is planning to introduce a Bureau of Rehabilitation to rehab ex-combatants, members of violent extremist groups, and any other group of people who request treatment and rehabilitation or are required by law to be provided with treatment and rehabilitation; However, the bill does not spell out how the rehabilitation process begins or who is authorised to commit any person to rehabilitation.
