Rehabilitation program effectiveness of community drug-dependent patients
Abstract
The purpose of therapy in the rehabilitation process is to assist patients in modifying their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors around substance misuse, to engage in treatment, and to be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle. This study determines the effectiveness of the drug-dependent patient’s rehabilitation as to the identified programs of government. In order to obtain the necessary data of the study, this research used the descriptive method of research. In this method, data were gathered using questionnaires and informal interview to verify the answers of the respondents. Findings revealed that in terms of level of implementation of rehabilitation, seminars or lectures garnered a very satisfactory rating. While, for satisfaction of drug-dependents surrenderers on rehabilitation also received a very satisfactory. Moreover, some of the issues and concerns are as follows: loss of income during the rehabilitation, inadequate food during the rehabilitation program, difficulty sometimes in understanding the topics discussed during seminars/lectures, feeling bored during lectures/seminars resulting to out of focus, extent of support of their own family during the rehabilitation, feeling unwanted or outcasts by the friends or community considering their status as drug-dependent surrenderers, extent of support of government after the rehabilitation and possibility or chance of landing a job after rehabilitation. It is recommended that the proposed action plan presented in this study be submitted to the concerned groups and proper authorities for consideration.
