The past year prevalence rate was 1.80% or 180 out of 10,000 Indonesians aged 15-64 years or equivalent to approximately 3.4 million people. The survey also found that drug abuse has penetrated into the countryside with very prominent drug use at a very productive age (25-49 years) and the prevalence rate in the past year of use above 2.5%. The various impacts of drug use can be overcome by conducting a rehabilitation program. The process of drug rehabilitation is a process given to drug addicts so that their mental, physical and social conditions improve, the existence of rehabilitation is expected to be able to reduce the adverse effects on physical and mental conditions and can reduce dependence and relapse due to drug use, so as to reduce the number of drug abusers. In this post-rehabilitation stage, drug abusers are prone to relapse. The case of relapse in drug users is very high, found in more than 50% of addicts in the last decade. Based on research, relapse rates are known to reach approximately 80 percent within the first six months, and occur as much as approximately 50 percent within two years. However, the various definitions of relapse have led to different relapse rates in Indonesia. The Ministry of Health in 2018 claimed that the relapse rate in Indonesia reached 24.3% while the relapse rate according to BNN stated that before the implementation of rehabilitation, Indonesia's relapse rate reached 90%. Indonesia's relapse rate after the implementation of rehabilitation at the Lido Bogor rehabilitation and therapy center is around 7%.
Methods: This study uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach and aims to determine the determinants of early detection of relapse in drug abusers in Padang city. The informants in this study are drug abuser clients who are undergoing rehabilitation, in the post-rehabilitation program, and who have completed the rehabilitation program at HB Saanin Mental Hospital Padang, West Sumatera BNNP Clinic, and Yayasan Karunia Insani in Padang City, with a total of 6 people.
