Summary

Introduction

Recovery for ex-offenders is currently one of the major issues in the criminal justice, health care and social services providers, especially for the drug use offenders, promoting a successful recovery is an ongoing concern in efforts to reduce recidivism [1]. Ex-offenders experienced wide-ranging challenges to reintegrate into the society that were conceptualized in three domains: intrapersonal conditions (e.g. physical and psychological health state, substance use, education and social skills); subsistence conditions (e.g. finance, employment, and housing); and support conditions (e.g. social/ health care/criminal justice services, new social networks, informal support) [1,3]. These challenges make most ex-offenders re-enter the communities within a few weeks of arrest, and few receive help for the substance abuse, health, psychological or social problems that lead to incarceration [4].
