Internal and External Rehabilitation Process of East Java Drugs Therapy Houses in Therapeutic Communication for Drugs Addicts

The institution that handles social rehabilitation of drug addicts is called Mandatory Recipient Institution (IPWL-Institusi Penerima Wajib Lapor). There are two main processes that take place in rehabilitation house, namely the internal processes carried out in the form of quarantine and external process. This study seeks to discover the communication patterns applied in therapy houses. In internal processes there are forms of habituation in working groups such as in the family so that they learn to carry out basic social functions in interactions that are neglected and damaged while becoming addicts. If the process is successful, they will be in a clean condition from drugs or in abstinence condition. The external process occurs after the abstinence condition of the addicts. Both play important and unique roles in internal or external process in social rehabilitation of drug addicts. Counselors, family members, friends and peers play important roles in this process. The important thing in therapy is expressed through understanding, empathy, respect, attentive, availability, genuinely, support, equality, self-disclosure, openness. Aspects that support therapeutic communication include nonjudgmental situation, promoting equality, smart interpretation of specific communication context and creating appropriate and feasible situations.
