Rehabilitation Center for Teenage Victims of Drug Abuse Based on a Therapeutic Community (TC) in Banten Province with a Behavior Architecture Approach

Introduction

Rehabilitation center for teenage victims of drug abuse based on a therapeutic community (tc) in banten province with a behavior architecture approach. Design a specialized rehabilitation center for teenage drug abuse victims in Banten, utilizing the Therapeutic Community (TC) model and Behavioral Architecture for effective healing & reintegration.

Abstract

The increasing number of drug abuse cases in Indonesia, particularly among teenagers, indicates that government prevention measures have not been fully effective, as many areas lack adequate rehabilitation centers. These centers are essential for helping victims recover from addiction and reintegrate into society, serving both rehabilitative and preventive functions. Banten Province has several rehabilitation centers, but not all meet the necessary standards. This underscores the need for a specialized Drug Rehabilitation Center focused on teenagers, who are the majority of drug addiction victims. This center will utilize the Therapeutic Community (TC) model, where rehabilitants engage in social rehabilitation activities within their communities, and employ a Behavioral Architecture approach, which responds to users and their environment. The planning and design of this center will involve the analysis of primary and secondary data through five aspects: functional, contextual, technical, performance, and architectural. The Behavioral Architecture approach aims to create spaces that support the physical and mental healing of teenage drug addicts while being responsive to their needs. The analysis results will guide the subsequent design process.

Review

This submission outlines a highly pertinent and timely project addressing the critical issue of teenage drug abuse in Banten Province, Indonesia. The abstract effectively identifies a significant gap in current prevention and rehabilitation efforts, specifically the lack of specialized and adequately standardized centers for this vulnerable demographic. The proposed solution—a dedicated rehabilitation center utilizing the Therapeutic Community (TC) model and a Behavioral Architecture approach—is a compelling response to this challenge. The focus on teenagers, who constitute the majority of drug addiction victims, underscores the project's relevance and potential for significant societal impact, aiming not only for recovery but also for successful reintegration. The strength of this proposal lies in its dual theoretical framework. The Therapeutic Community model is a well-established and empirically supported approach for social rehabilitation, fostering peer support and shared responsibility crucial for long-term recovery. Complementing this, the adoption of a Behavioral Architecture approach is particularly innovative and promises to create spaces that are not merely functional but actively supportive of physical and mental healing. The proposed methodology, encompassing the analysis of primary and secondary data across five aspects—functional, contextual, technical, performance, and architectural—suggests a comprehensive and data-driven design process, ensuring that the resulting facility will be well-informed and responsive to the specific needs of its users. While the abstract provides a strong foundation, the eventual paper would benefit from greater detail on how the Behavioral Architecture principles will specifically translate into design elements that address the unique psychological and developmental needs of teenage drug addicts. Further elaboration on the "necessary standards" currently unmet by existing centers in Banten Province would also provide valuable context and reinforce the urgency of this project. Nevertheless, this project holds substantial promise to contribute significantly to drug rehabilitation efforts in Indonesia, offering a thoughtfully conceived and innovative approach to an urgent public health crisis.
