A drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre was opened in Sri Lanka through a partnership between the Certis Lanka Group and Australian mental health and addiction experts the Seasons Hader Group. Together they have launched Seasons Sri Lanka, the country’s first internationally recognised drug and alcohol treatment centre.
Seasons Sri Lanka was opened on 2 August in Waskaduwa. The Chief Guest at the event was the Chairman of the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board Prof. Ravindra Fernando.
Substance dependency is one of the biggest issues in the world today and up until now many Sri Lankans have had to leave the country to find effective treatment. International cooperation and the sharing of expertise will create the availability of cutting-edge rehabilitation in the island in a beautiful and confidential facility with qualified, compassionate and dedicated staff.
Certis Lanka is a joint venture with Certis International of Singapore, a wholly-owned company of Temasek Holdings, the private investment arm of the Singaporean Government. Certis Lanka has been operating as an independent entity providing security services in Sri Lanka for the past 40 years.
The Certis Lanka Group offers a number of services as a specialist in commercial and industrial security, and a premier service provider in loss prevention, secure logistics and caring services in Sri Lanka.
Over the past four decades, Certis Lanka has concentrated its focus on providing its customers with comprehensive, state-of-the-art security solutions. Today, it sets the standard for loss prevention services in Sri Lanka with an island-wide branch network within the main cities of the island. The Certis Lanka Group has been involved in the transportation of cash and valuables, electronic security systems, courier services and home nursing through its subsidiary companies.
Certis Lanka is certified under ISO 9001:2008 for quality management systems, ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management systems and ISO 50001:2011 for energy management systems.
