Efektivitas Program After Care pada Masa Pasca Rehabilitasi Narkoba di Sentra ‘Insyaf’ Medan

Abstract

Drugs are artificial substances or even those derived from plants that can have hallucinatory effects, reduce consciousness, and are accompanied by addiction when consumed in excess. Utilization of these substances is often used for medical purposes because it can relieve pain and give a sense of calm to people who consume them. Problems arise when these substances and drugs are abused by those who feel frustrated, lose hope, or simply seek pleasure by consuming these substances excessively. As a result they will lose control over themselves, and often lead to violent treatment of others. Those who have already taken drugs will find it difficult to recover and return to the state before they were addicted to drugs. The way that can be done to restore the condition of these addicts is drug rehabilitation. This research itself was carried out at the Sentra 'Insyaf' and After Care 'Insyaf' Sentra Medan to examine the effectiveness of the After Care program, namely a program at the Sentra 'Insyaf' Medan which focuses on strengthening the recovery that has been passed by former victims of drug abuse (FDA) at the Sentra 'Insyaf' . Data collection techniques in this study were carried out by interviews, observation, and documentation. After the data is obtained, the data is then analyzed by the researcher using qualitative data analysis techniques according to Creswell and ends with drawing conclusions from the results of the research that has been done. The results of the research conducted show that the After Care program in the Sentra 'Insyaf' field cannot be said to be effective as illustrated by the theory of program effectiveness according to Sutrisno (2010: 125), namely a program can be said to be effective if it fulfills all the factors namely Program Understanding, Target Accuracy, Punctuality, Goal Achievement, Real Change.
