Speech of Chairman

Drug addiction has become a great threat to our society. It is now a big hindrance to the social and economic development of the nation. Starting from school going children, adolescents, young generation including males and females, professionals, business personnel, university students and teachers, laureates, and who not, are getting indulged in abusing drugs leading to self-destruction of their lives. Those brilliant people who could be the assets of their families, of the societies and of the nation by keeping their individual nice contribution, are on the contrary becoming burden to family, society and the nation. In spite of measures taken by the Government to reduce supply and availability of drugs, the situation is becoming graver day by day. It is a real curse. Hardly any family is safe from this curse. It is worldwide now. It must be protected by all means by joint efforts of the Government and its People. The option of reducing the harms and helping the still suffering addicts and their families for getting recovered and enter into healthy, sober and productive life remains as an essential alternative way to serve the nation in this regard.

With a view to perform a little responsibility for helping the victims of drugs abuse and thereby serving the nation as well, Beacon Group management had decided to set up a drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation center in this soil conforming to high standards of holistic approaches prevailing in the world. And we started the operation: Beacon Point Ltd. at Nikunja-1, an aristocratic residential area of Dhaka, Bangladesh in May, 2013. To emerge with an international standard infrastructure and treatment program, we took support of consultancy from the international expert addiction treatment consultant and addiction counseling trainer of The Netherlands & UK respectively. And, most importantly, we have been taking supports of our specialized Medical Doctors, Psychiatrists, Psychologists and addiction treatment experts of Bangladesh to match our services with our own country culture. Now the facility in operation with larger infrastructure at Gulshan, Dhaka to extend it’s services.

A Total Quality Management System (TAMS) for ensuring service excellence has been run by a highly qualified and experienced Professional Team. We believe, our services will go ahead smoothly and reach its cherished vision of seeing our home land as “Drugs Free Strong Bangladesh”.

Drug addiction has emerged as one of the most serious social challenges of our time. It poses a grave threat not only to individual lives but also to the social fabric and economic development of our nation. Alarmingly, this menace affects people from all walks of life school-going children, adolescents, young men and women, professionals, business leaders, university students and teachers alike. No family, no community, and no nation remains untouched.

Many individuals who could have been valuable assets to their families, society, and the country are instead falling into self-destruction due to substance abuse. Despite sincere efforts by the Government to curb the supply and availability of drugs, the problem continues to grow in scale and severity. Drug addiction has become a global crisis and a harsh reality of modern society.

We firmly believe that addressing this challenge requires collective responsibility. Alongside law enforcement and preventive measures, there must be compassionate and effective initiatives focused on harm reduction, treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of those affected. Helping individuals recover and return to healthy, sober, and productive lives is not just a humanitarian duty, it is a national service.

With this vision, Beacon Group undertook a modest yet meaningful initiative to support victims of drug addiction. In 2013, we established Beacon Point Ltd., a specialized drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation center, at Nikunja-1, Dhaka. Our goal was to develop a facility that adheres to internationally recognized standards while remaining deeply aligned with the cultural and social context of Bangladesh.

To ensure global best practices, we engaged international addiction treatment consultants and counseling trainers from The Netherlands and the United Kingdom. At the same time, we placed strong emphasis on collaboration with our own highly skilled medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and addiction treatment professionals of Bangladesh. This integration allows us to provide holistic, culturally appropriate, and evidence-based care.

Today, Beacon Point operates from an expanded and well-equipped facility in Gulshan, Dhaka, enabling us to extend our services to a larger number of individuals and families in need. Our programs are guided by a comprehensive Total Quality Management System, delivered by a dedicated, experienced, and professional team committed to service excellence.

Beacon Point Ltd. is a sister concern of Beacon Pharmaceuticals PLC, and our specialization in rehabilitation reflects the Group’s broader commitment to public health and social responsibility.

We remain confident that through professionalism, compassion, and continuous improvement, Beacon Point will continue to move forward toward its cherished vision. a Drug-Free, Strong, and Healthy Bangladesh.
