Nearly 90 percent of people who use substance/drugs do not experience as substance used disorders, thus not requiring inpatient treatment. Informal services (self-care and community treatment) are the most needed and also the cheapest to set up and provide. However, many countries often establish the most expensive and intensive types of services, which focus on institutions (Community-Based Drug Services for People Who Use Drugs in Southeast Asia, 2018).

Adolescents and young adults constitute a large proportion of the population in sub-Saharan Africa but face high levels of disability and mortality. This is influenced by unhealthy substance use, largely with friends, in a predominantly gender normative environment where poverty is widespread.

Indonesia maintains one of the world's most stringent narcotics legal frameworks, codified in Law 35/2009, which imposes severe sanctions ranging from lengthy mandatory minimum prison sentences to capital punishment. This punitive stance has precipitated a crisis of hyper-incarceration, with national prison overcrowding averaging 108% with some facilities operating at 198% capacity, and detention centers exceeding 210%.

Substance use disorders (SUD) is a global health problem. Approximately 3.3 million people in Indonesia age 15-64 were use drugs (BNN Prevalence data,2023). Drugs problem management continues as an effort to develop holistic, integral, and sustainable rehabilitation arrangements for substance uses disorders, prioritizing professionalism, dedication, and responsibility.
