Inadequate substance use disorder (SUD) treatment resources for incarcerated women and men with substance use problems leads to a pressing need for services when they are released.

Co- occurring mental disorders is a major contributor to the burden associated with substance use disorders. Presence of a co- occurring mental disorders among persons with substance use disorders poses challenges to the addiction professionals.

Access to evidence-based practices (EBP) in substance use prevention and treatment programs remains a challenge despite systematic efforts toward dissemination.

The issue of psychoactive substance misuse remains a serious public health challenge globally and nationally. In Indonesia, 1.73% of the population—or approximately 3,337,000 individuals aged 15 to 64—reported substance use within the past year (Indonesia Drug Report 2024). Of those, only 5,878 accessed rehabilitation services facilitated by the National Narcotics Agency, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and affiliated community organizations.

The problem of people with substance use disorders has become a global issue that requires immediate, multidimensional action.. Indonesia also experienced a similar situation, with the prevalence of drug abuse in 2023 reaching 1.73%. A comprehensive rehabilitation strategy aims to restore people with substance use disorders and improve their recovery and quality of life.

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.

Significant increases in prison populations worldwide are largely caused by the arrest and incarceration of persons whose crimes are related to drug use.  Many countries are exploring different options to reduce crime and incarceration through the use of community-based drug treatment.
