ABSTRACT
The research objective was to obtain in-depth information about the behavior of post-rehabilitation drug addicts at BNNP South Sulawesi. This type of research is qualitative research by means of direct observation and in-depth interviews with informants and is also equipped with documentation. The number of informants in this study were 6 informants consisting of 5 regular informants and 1 key informant. The results of this study indicate that the addict's knowledge of drug abuse defines drugs as addictive substances or drugs that can destroy the addict's family, economy, and life. The attitude of drug addicts in maintaining their recovery is to get closer to God, to be in a positive and safe environment, in this case stay away from PIC friends who can influence addicts, do sharing Circle activities to get support and channel emotions. Social support plays a role and is needed by former drug addicts who are in the recovery phase. The support provided by parents, family, friends and agencies is useful in generating a sense of self-confidence, a sense of worth, a sense of enthusiasm, as a buffer for symptoms and stressful events in maintaining recovery. The availability of facilities is one of the factors for informants in maintaining their recovery. The facilities provided are in the form of a companion house which is a place for addicts to do activities in a safe environment (Circle).
