The Journey of Drug Dependents towards Recovery

Abstract

Drug addiction is a worldwide phenomenon which generates problems not only affecting families but the society as well. Addictive substances are rampant among our societies today and minors are easy victims. It is in this premise why the government provides rehabilitation and treatment to this at risk population. The researchers used qualitative case study method to get to know the experiences of the three participants in the rehabilitation agency, the DCTRCDD or Davao City Rehabilitation Center for Drug Dependents. The three participants were using prohibited drugs before admission to the center. The participants shared their journey towards recovery in the agency and because of this, they were able to conceptualize their vision in life and developed values for their welfare and development.
