As part of the instructions adopted at the 25th session of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan dated April 26, 2017 on the opening of rehabilitation centers for victims of religious extremism and destructive movements, by resolution of the Akimat of Almaty Region №596 dated 29 December in 2017, the Department of religious Affairs created a municipal state institution "Center for the rehabilitation of victims of religious extremism and adherents of destructive cults" with a staffing of 25 units. The priority goal and objective of the Center is the implementation of the Concept of state policy in the religious sphere for 2017-2020 and the state program for countering religious extremism and terrorism for 2018-2022. Currently, the Center is focused on:

• conducting targeted, targeted rehabilitation work and coverage of psychological correction and social adaptation (resocialization) of persons affected by radical and destructive religious movements and cults;
• implementation of the target indicator "Reduction of the number of people who share extremist ideas aimed at inciting religious hatred or discord" in the territory development program.
• organization of theological and psychological work with persons returned to the Republic of Kazakhstan from the zones of terrorist activity in the framework of the special operation "Zhusan".
• conducting re-socialization and rehabilitation work with persons serving and serving sentences in institutions Of the Department of the criminal Executive system for extremist and terrorist crimes;
• Prevention of illegal migration to the territory of Kazakhstan of foreign citizens involved in religious extremism and terrorism;
• conducting targeted explanatory work with those who refused to comply with the uniform form in educational institutions, for religious reasons and other rules and principles of the secular state;
• providing advice to applicants by telephone hotline;

The Center already has a clear mechanism for tracking the religious situation, quick response, and adapted methods for the rehabilitation of radicals. For a prompt response and direct interaction on the ground with advisory bodies in the areas surrounding the metropolis of Almaty, the "Displacement Sector" operates. The sector effectively carries out rehabilitation work with adherents of the DRC and regulates internal migration issues with the city of Almaty. Since the day of operation, significant results have been achieved in reducing not only the number of people affected by destructive religious movements, but also a change in the radical views of their leaders.
