Abstract
Anti-Drug Law of the People’s Republic of China has made clear legal provisions for various measures to combat drug addiction, including voluntary rehabilitation, community rehabilitation, compulsory drug rehabilitation, and community rehabilitation. It has established a working system that combines drug rehabilitation treatment, rehabilitation guidance, and assistance services. Voluntary drug rehabilitation institutions are a crucial social force that not only reduces the public power’s expenses for mandatory drug rehabilitation but also helps drug users receive professional and standardized treatment, according to analyzing the treatment practices of voluntary drug rehabilitation institutions in Northwest China by conducting fieldwork at Huayou Drug Rehabilitation Hospital in Xi’an. It is argued that the voluntary drug rehabilitation institutions in this region adhere to a holistic approach and utilize drug detoxification, methadone maintenance treatment, psychosocial support, and nursing intervention to provide patient-oriented treatment for addicted patients. However, most drug users tend to self-medicate, leading to low treatment compliance and high relapse rates. Consequently, drug rehabilitation medical institutions in Northwest China face new challenges, such as an increase in patients with alcohol and iatrogenic addictions, and a decrease in drug addiction patients. How to scientifically analyze the micro-meso-macro environmental factors affecting voluntary drug rehabilitation institutions in Northwest China, and then effectively integrate resources are the current work priorities of voluntary drug rehabilitation institutions in this region.
