Implementation of medical and social rehabilitation for victims of narcotics abuse according to law number 35 of 2009 At the national narcotics agency of lhokseumawe city

Abstract

The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) is a non-ministerial government agency in Indonesia that focuses on preventing and eradicating narcotics. Narcotics, although useful in treatment, can cause dependence and social problems if misused. Rehabilitation of addicts is regulated in Law Number 35 of 2009, which differentiates between perpetrators of criminal acts and victims of addiction. In Lhokseumawe, data shows a decrease in the number of addicts being rehabilitated, indicating the importance of rehabilitation in improving the quality of life of addicts and preventing crime. This research aims to analyze the implementation, obstacles and solutions in the Lhokseumawe City BNN rehabilitation program using empirical juridical methods and a descriptive approach. Data was collected through interviews with informants and respondents. The research results identified three stages of rehabilitation: medical (detoxification), social, and further development. Internal obstacles include favoritism in the legal process, budget limitations and human resources. External barriers include the addict's lack of motivation, economic conditions, social stigma, and lack of family and community support. Efforts to resolve obstacles include education about the Narcotics Law, supervision, online support, screening tests, and community capacity building. It is recommended that the Lhokseumawe City BNN increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation by strengthening the justice of law enforcement, improving budget and facility management, and improving the quality of human resources.
