Traditional Chinese medicine is to be used by a drug abuse control agency in east China鈥檚 Shandong Province in a joint research program with a TCM university.
Co-founded by Shandong Drug Abuse Control Bureau and Shandong TCM University, the TCM rehabilitation research center inaugurated yesterday is the first provincial level agency of its kind.
