Peran Konselor Dalam Menangani Pasien Rehabilitas Narkoba

Abstract

Discussions about drugs have become familiar to the global community, even though some types of drugs have health benefits, their abuse often causes behavior that does not conform to the norm. Even though data from the National Narcotics Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BNN RI) shows a decrease in drug abuse cases in 2023, abuse is still a significant problem. Dependence on drugs can have a negative impact on a person's physical, mental and social health. To deal with this problem, the government has implemented policies and regulations for preventing, suppressing, treating and eradicating drugs, including medical and social rehabilitation programs for drug addicts. The rehabilitation process begins with evaluation, counseling, and interventions that help patients overcome psychological and social challenges. However, there are still challenges in the rehabilitation process, such as a lack of support from family and community, as well as a lack of post-rehabilitation programs from the government. With a better understanding of the role of counselors in drug rehabilitation, it is hoped that more effective approaches can be found to help patients overcome their problems and restore their lives.
