“…The effectiveness of the treatment program for SUD depends on various factors including the treatment approach, duration of treatment, quality and quantity of the program conductors and available facilities (Mulder et al , 2009). Various treatment approaches are followed by rehabilitation programs worldwide which include the TC model (Caputo, 2018), spiritual-traditional model (Adam et al , 2011), psycho-spiritual therapy (Khalid, 2008), psychodynamic approach (McMichael, 2021), biopsychosocial therapy (Griffiths, 2005) and family therapy (Baharudin et al , 2014). Biopsychosocial therapy and the TC model are the commonly used treatment approaches in Sri Lanka (NDDCB, 2021a).…”

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of residential treatment which follows the therapeutic community (TC) model for Sri Lankan individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). Design/methodology/approach A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in two selected residential treatment centers which follow the TC model as a rehabilitation approach. All the clients of the selected residential treatment centers were invited to take part in the study and data were collected from 75 consented male participants using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The perceived effectiveness of the residential treatment was assessed using the Treatment Effectiveness Assessment instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings Most of the participants were Sinhalese (98.7%, n = 74) with a mean age of 27.0 ± 6.0 years. The average duration in which participants stayed at selected centers was 8.0 ± 4.0 months. Most of the participants reported that the encouragement during the program was sufficient (89.3%, n = 67), psychological support was satisfactory (89.3%, n = 67), freedom (69.5%, n = 52) and facilities were adequate (76.0%, n = 57) within the program. A higher proportion of participants said that the counselors and program guides were friendly (80.0%, n = 60), and participants were allowed to communicate with their family with restrictions (92.0%, n = 69). The mean perceived effectiveness score (score range 1–40) was 34.0 ± 7.0 and the four domain scores (score range 1–10) were substance use (9.0 ± 2.0), health (8.0 ± 2.0), lifestyle (9.0 ± 2.0) and community (9.0 ± 2.0). The majority (88.0%, n = 66) of the participants perceived a high level of treatment effectiveness. Originality/value There is a paucity of empirical evidence on effectiveness of TC model for individuals with SUD in South Asian countries including Sri Lanka. The findings of this study highlight that the participants perceived higher effectiveness of the residential treatment which follows the TC approach for Sri Lankan individuals with SUD.

“…Pendekatan agama dengan cara mengajari dan membetulkan pengamalan ibadah sehari-hari pecandu narkoba, mengajari mereka dengan akhlak yang baik, dan memberikan penjelasan yang konfrehensif tentang ketuhanan, dapat menumbuhkan kesadaran bertaubat pada pengguna narkoba di panti rehabilitasi Rumah Ummi Sunggal (N. Purba et al, 2019). Penelitian lain juga menguatkan argumennya bahwa terapi agama merupakan solusi alternatif dan rujukan yang dapat dilakukan untuk memulihkan pengguna narkoba dari kecanduan (Adam et al, 2015;Dubbini et al, 2020;Khaer, 2018).…”

The majority of studies on the recovery of drug addicts have been viewed from a medical approach. This article discusses religious approaches, such as providing continuous da'wah, Islamic therapy and spiritual strengthening that encourage conversion of drug addicts at the rehabilitation residence of Sibolangit Center, North Sumatra. The data were collected through observation, open interviews with 6 drug addicts and 2 employees of the rehabilitation residence of Sibolangit Center. The data analyzed by using the Miles and Huberman analysis technique. Using the theory of habituation (operant conditioning) B.F. Skinner, this study argues that human behavior can be conditioned. The first part of this paper discusses the Islamic da'wah routine and therapy in recovering drug addicts from drug addiction. The next section describes the spiritual and conversion experiences experienced by drug addicts at the rehabilitation residence of Sibolangit Center. This paper argues that Islamic da'wah and therapy activities that are carried out regularly can foster spiritual awareness and the drug addicts desire to repent. The religious approach is a life-saving mechanism from drug addiction.
