JAKARTA - Attorney Rio Reifan, Alamsyah Rambe plans to apply for rehabilitation for his client who is again caught in drugs. Rehabilitation was proposed because Rio was considered an addict.

For the fourth time, journalist Rio Reifan has returned to dealing with the police for drug abuse. Rio was arrested by the Narcotics Unit of the Central Jakarta Metro Police on Monday, April 19 evening at his residence in the Otista area, East Jakarta. The police confiscated evidence of methamphetamine.

"The next step is that we ask for the request to be rehabilitated," said Alamsyah at the Central Jakarta Police, Kemayoran, Tuesday.

Alamsyah admitted that he was surprised when he received news from reporters who contacted him regarding the news that Rio was again arrested for drugs.

IDia suspects that Rio has returned to using these illicit goods due to environmental influences. However, he denied that the rehabilitation process that Rio had previously undertaken was unsuccessful.

"It's hard for an addict to recover one hundred percent. He himself also has an intention to change, it's just that his mind's environment has not been controlled so it returns to the beginning," he said.

Alamsyah said the 36-year-old pesinetron regretted his actions. Rio also did not say much, especially since this arrest is the fourth time in a similar case.

It is known that Rio used methamphetamine for the last time at the end of last week, based on the Investigation Report (BAP).

He was arrested along with a male partner with the initials S in Otista, East Jakarta.
