An Effective Rehabilitation Center Model For Drug Addiction

Abstract

Addiction is a process that has many negative consequences and negatively affects individuals, families and societies. Despite its negative consequences, addiction is increasing worldwide today. This increase leads countries to new approaches and different treatment options in the fight against addiction. One of these options is the Therapeutic Community approach, which is preferred by many countries and seen as an integral part of the rehabilitation process. Therapeutic Community approach; providing inpatient care in a non-hospital environment; a rehabilitation process that deals with the individual with his environment is an approach. In this study, the structure and functioning of the institution called Parceval, which provides rehabilitation services for children and young people with addiction and adopts the Therapeutic Community approach, is explained. The authors have observed, learned and gained experience at the relevant institution in Berlin for 3 months (between 01.06.2018 - 29.08.2018) within the scope of Erasmus + Program Internship Mobility. It is thought that the experiences gained will contribute to and support the rehabilitation process for drug addiction in our country by presenting a different perspective.
