Measuring the Effectiveness of Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Policies on Narcotics Supply and Demand in Indonesia

Law enforcement and the implementation of rehabilitation policies for drug abusers are positioned as the backbone for addressing the continuously increasing drug abuse. This research aims to find the ideal rehabilitation policy model to tackle the supply and demand of narcotics in Indonesia. This research is a normative legal study based on secondary data analyzed qualitatively and prescriptively. The implementation of rehabilitation policies through a voluntary system is hindered by the tendency of society to cover up the presence of drug abuse around them or in their families due to feelings of shame and fear, resulting in relatively low participation in the voluntary rehabilitation process. There is a disparity in rehabilitation through legal processes, where some drug abusers receive rehabilitation facilities without going through criminal justice processes by being placed directly in rehabilitation centers, while many others need to undergo criminal proceedings and serve prison sentences. An effective rehabilitation policy model to address the supply and demand of narcotics in Indonesia is a progressive rehabilitation policy. In this case, Investigators do not place drug abusers in detention cells but in rehabilitation centers because their status upon arrest is not that of individuals in conflict with the law, but individuals with health problems.
