Abstract

The present study aimed to clarify utilization of rehabilitation facilities by drug users. A questionnaire survey was administered to 100 directors of rehabilitation facilities nationwide. Participants were 12 drug treatment-focused facilities and 52 non-drug treatment-focused facilities. The percentage of offenders using the system for partially suspended sentences for drug law violations comprised almost 17% of users at drug treatment-focused facilities and almost 10% of users at non-drug treatment-focused facilities. It was assumed that it was difficult for offenders in the partially suspended sentence system to make time to attend treatment programs and that they were influenced by motivation to recover from drug addiction. Regarding cooperation with related organizations, it is suggested that cooperation is difficult due to the lack of social resources and geographical problems, although there is a need to support medical institutions. It is necessary to consider support for rehabilitation facilities for users of the system for partially suspended sentences for drug law violations, which will increase in the future, so that facilities can continue to smoothly support the community after violators are released.
