A drug rehabilitation center in east China's Shangdong Province is using Confucian wisdom to combat drug addiction.

China Confucius Foundation (CFC) said this week that it has opened its first Confucius school this month in a drug rehab center in Jinning City.

CFC secretary-general Wang Daqian said he hopes traditional Chinese ideas will help those in the program to fight their addictions.

CFC plans 10,000 Confucius Schools across China.
