**Mayor of Tijuana Visits COTRRSA Facilities for Men to Enhance Support Programs**
Tijuana – In a concerted effort to strengthen the city’s response to addiction issues, the Mayor of Tijuana, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, visited the Community for Therapeutic Rehabilitation and Social Reintegration of Addicts (COTRRSA) facilities for men. This initiative aims to evaluate the quality of care provided and improve municipal support programs.
During his visit, Mayor Burgueño emphasized the critical role of COTRRSA in addressing addiction problems, noting that the institution has separate communities dedicated to men, women, and adolescents. The adolescent program offers outpatient services for children and teenagers aged 9 to 17.
The mayor encouraged COTRRSA participants to continue their journey of personal growth and emotional stability, urging them to become role models for others facing similar challenges. “We will keep visiting regularly to maintain and enhance the services provided by COTRRSA communities,” he added, highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts to improve these crucial services.
While touring the facility, Mayor Burgueño visited various sections, including dormitories and therapy classrooms, to gain insight into the daily experiences of the community members.
