Abstract

The Medan City is one of the drug hubs in North Sumatra, as evidenced by the high rate of drug abuse cases. The high rate of drug abuse disrupts social, health and economic life. Therefore, victims of drug abuse need to receive medical and social rehabilitation. One of them is the rehabilitation carried out by the Medan City Social Office and Medan Plus Foundation. The Medan City Social Office as a government actor and Medan Plus Foundation as a non-government actor in carrying out rehabilitation of drug abuse victims is a form of collaborative governance. Collaboration between the two actors is driven by gaps in resources and facilities to carry out rehabilitation of drug abuse victims, thus becoming the starting condition underlying the collaboration. This research aims to know, describe, and analyze collaborative governance between Medan City Social Office and Medan Plus Foundation for the rehabilitation of drug abuse victims. This research uses descriptive research method with qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using interview techniques, observation, documentation, and literature. The data obtained were analyzed qualitatively using the collaborative governance model according to Ansell and Gash which consists of several stages, namely: starting conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, and collaborative processes. The research results show that: First, the starting condition between the Medan City Social Office and Medan Plus Foundation went well and there was never conflict. Second, the institutional design that regulates drug rehabilitation services is structured from the national to the regional level. Third, facilitative leadership is said to be good because the Medan City Social Office can lead collaboration to generate targets in handling victims of drug abuse. Fourth, the collaborative process in drug rehabilitation goes well between the two parties which is manifested in face-to-face dialogue that creates a sense of trust, commitment, and mutual understanding based on regulations and work contracts. Overall, collaborative governance between the Medan City Social Office and Medan Plus Foundation is going well although there are recommendations, namely that both should remind each other and invite to hold meetings to collaborate.
