ABSTRACT NAME OF INSTITUTION : De La Salle University - Dasmariñas ADDRESS : Bagong Bayan, Dasmariñas, Cavite TITLE : A Comparative Analysis of Drug Rehabilitation Programs implemented by Private and Non - Private Organizations AUTHOR : Jomalyn E. Hontiveros Louisa Sheena G. Veron Aiza S. Villablanca COST : P16, 000.00 DATE STARTED : July 2006 DATE FINISHED : March 2007 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: The primary purpose of this study is to provide a comparative evaluation on drug rehabilitation programs implemented by Private and Non – Private Organizations. 3 Specific: 1. To determine the profile of the organizations; 2. To determine the effectiveness of Drug Rehabilitation Programs of Private and Non – Private Organizations in treating drug rehabilitated patients; 3. To determine the problems encountered by the respondents from Private and Non – Private Organizations; 4. To determine the difference between a Private and a Non – Private Organizations in implementing their drug rehabilitation programs. Scope and Coverage The respondents of this study are 16 drug rehabilitated patients. Eight of them were a private organization and the other eight were from a non – private organization. All the respondents have already at least undergone six months of rehabilitation. Methodology The comparative evaluative method of research was used in this study. A survey form designed by the researchers was used to appropriate the flow of this study. The Likert Scale ranging from 5(Effective), 4(Satisfactorily Effective), 3(Moderately Effective), 2(Fair), 1(Poor) was used in evaluating the rehabilitation programs. 4 To determine the effectiveness of the rehabilitation programs implemented by both the private and the non – private organizations, the researchers used the data frequency, mean and percentage. Major Findings The findings showed that the private rehabilitation center was established earlier than the non – private rehabilitation center. The former has large number of employees and patients compared to the latter. Both organizations, regarding their facility, rated as moderately effective. As to the effectiveness of the drug rehabilitation programs, the respondents from the private organization perceived the therapies (Hazelden Model, Therapeutic Community Approach, Multidisciplinary Team Approach and Eclectic Model) as to be moderately effective; the non – private organization to be satisfactorily effective. In terms of services (Medical, Recreational/Physical, Social Psychological, Spiritual and Educational) the respondents from the private organization perceived them to be fair; the non – private organization’s services were rated as moderately effective by its respondents. As to the problems encountered in the implementation of the drug rehabilitation program of the private organization, the respondents perceived that loneliness was the primary problem that they face and this was followed by boredom. The previously stated problems were triggered by the no phone call policy and the unpleasant behavior of the other patients. On the other hand, the primary problems encountered from the non – private organization were boredom, 5 cravings for drug, financial, and loneliness. Conclusions The drug rehabilitation program of the private organization in terms of therapies was moderately effective. Its services were not effective due to certain reasons; while the non-private organization advocate effective therapies and good services. Therefore, leased in the discussion of the results, the non – private organization is more competent than the private organization. The former’s competence in the business is attributed to its length of operation. Despite the limited budget allocation from the government, the invaluable knowledge and experience of its staff in the field have continuously overcome these weaknesses. The latter, on the other hand, due to its shorter length of operation in the business, has less effective rehabilitation programs. Recommendations The drug rehabilitated patients should take the treatment and rehabilitation programs seriously to avoid relapse. They should engage themselves seriously into the programs as these will help them to enhance their abilities, personalities, and 6 to discover their strengths and weaknesses. The family should learn how to communicate with them and understand the hardships that they are going through. Help them realized that they could still be productive as individuals. This way they could have a positive view in life. The administrators should assess the drug rehabilitation program implemented by the organization in order to evaluate what else is needed to be improved. Also, the staff should pay attention to the grievances of the patients. The counselors and psychologists of the private and non – private organizations should study and evaluate the psychological services being provided to the patients. To the future researchers, who would want to conduct an evaluation of drug rehabilitation programs, the researchers suggest that they use random selection of respondents to avoid manipulation and focus more on the therapies being offered to the drug rehabilitated patients.
