Abstract

The purpose of this research isTo review and analyze the Implementation of Medical and Social Rehabilitation for Narcotics Abuse and To review and analyze the Obstacles to the Implementation of Medical and Social Rehabilitation for Narcotics Abuse. The approach used in this study is Juridical Sociology. The results of this study indicate thatThe rehabilitation process for narcotics addicts carried out in West Java is divided into three parts, namely medical rehabilitation, social rehabilitation (social rehabilitation), and post-rehab programs. The stage of medical rehabilitation (detoxification) is to eliminate a sense of physical dependence, at this stage the addict is examined for all his health both physically by a trained doctor. It is the doctor who decides whether the addict needs to be given certain drugs to reduce the withdrawal symptoms he is suffering from. Drug administration depends on the type of drug and the severity of withdrawal symptoms and narcotics addicts is a lack of medical personnel who have the ability to carry out the rehabilitation process they have, this results in existing medical personnel being overwhelmed to treat rehabilitation patients. Apart from that, the rehabilitation center has inadequate facilities, both in terms of security, rooms that are not suitable for patients so that many rehabilitation places accommodate more than the specified capacity. Another factor is the lack of support for the environment occupied by ex-addicts after leaving the rehabilitation center, both from the family and social environment.
