Judge's Ruling in Providing Rehabilitation against Narcotics Abusers for Themselves

Abstract

In principle, the Narcotics Law provides a legal loophole for law enforcers, especially judges, in imposing criminal sanctions, not only prison, but can also provide sanctions in the form of rehabilitation. This is in accordance with the provisions of Articles 126 and 127 of the Narcotics Law that those who abuse narcotics themselves can be given rehabilitation sanctions, both medical and social rehabilitation. The fact is that currently, when deciding narcotics cases against self-abusers, judges do not use Article 127, so many perpetrators are given prison sentences. In providing rehabilitation sanctions, it cannot be separated from the assessment carried out by the Integrated Assessment Team (TAT), however, to carry out this assessment requires quite large costs which must be paid by the state and some are also paid by the perpetrator. Thus, synergy must be built between the institutions involved in implementing rehabilitation, namely APH, the Health Service and the Social Service in ensuring the implementation of rehabilitation. So there must be a judge's decision which is used as jurisprudence against narcotics abusers who themselves must carry out social rehabilitation and medical rehabilitation.
