| Abstract: | The experiment on the drug rehabilitation community in China started at the end of 20th century from the transplantation of the US “Daytop Mode” in Yunnan Province. With the increasingly relapse rate of drug users and the deepen development of government purchases services, many places like Shenzhen have put forward the concept of “No-drug Community”, aiming to explore the indigenous experience on community treatment. After reviewing the history of community drug control work, taking Shenzhen as an example, this paper explores the concept and path of the Chinese Mutual Aid Therapeutic Community from the view of social rehabilitation. It finds that external supporting system needs to be constructed during the course of rehabilitation. Meanwhile, by stimulating the changing motivation, strengthening cognition behaviors, rebuilding supportive family relationship on the individual level, as well as providing the support from peers, colleagues, and self-organization and positive culture on the environmental level, social workers can help drug users from exclusion to rehabilitation. |
