Human Factors Environmental Design suggestions were made for a proposed experimental commuting/residential educational drug rehabilitation facility being developed for the State of New Jersey. Within the constraints imposed by the necessity to use an existing structure and having only limited modification opportunities imposed by financial, architectural and community circumstances, it was concluded that the methodologies used in the aerospace industry and in architectural psychological studies were applicable to the planning and design study described in this paper. Additionally, many of the postulates developed and used in the design of environments for confined or restricted individuals are also applicable to such a specialized facility.

The aftercare program of a drug rehabilitation center is a continuing treatment receive by ex-drug abusers immediately after being discharged from a residential rehabilitation center. This program caters services that help in the development of skills of ex-drug abusers as they move out from the facility of the rehabilitation center for them earn for living. The rehabilitation centers offer opportunities for employment as they allow other agencies to offer job and training and seminar services for ex-drug abusers. In the implementation of the job opportunities as an aftercare program, the selection of ex-drug abuser who is ready to work, ready to be trained, and ready for a further referral is a crucial decision. To this end, an architectural model that can match ex-drug users profile and relevant jobs, training, and referrals were needed. The developed architecture will serve as their basis for a decision support system development

Abstract Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has a strong association with intravenous drug use (IVDU). IVDU is a growing public health concern, even in the adolescent population. To our knowledge, there are no published HCV screening studies targeting high-risk adolescents who attend drug rehabilitation centers. This study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of HCV infection utilizing point-of-care (POC) testing at an adolescent drug rehabilitation center and gain a preliminary understanding of the acceptance rate for HCV screening in this high-risk population. Methods This single-center, observational study was conducted at a major drug rehabilitation center in northeast Ohio from July 2016 to June 2017. The consented adolescents who presented at the center were recruited to participate in HCV screening. The participants were administered a survey to assess their demographics and risk behavior profile followed by HCV testing utilizing a POC test. Results During the study period, 150 adolescents were admitted to the drug rehabilitation center, of whom 100 were approached and 85 agreed to participate. Forty percent of the participants (34/85) were females, and 78% (66/85) were white. HCV prevalence among participants was 5% (4/85), all of whom were females. History of heroin use was reported by 15% (13/85) and it was associated with HCV seropositivity; 100% (4/4) of all HCV-positive individuals reported the use of heroin vs only 11% (9/81) of HCV-negative individuals (P = .0004). Conclusions Our study showed a high prevalence of HCV among adolescents attending a drug rehabilitation center with high acceptance of POC HCV testing.

Similarities And Differences

The Yunnan Province in China may be experiencing the highest incidence of heroin use in China, in part because of its proximity to the Golden Triangle. This high incidence, as elsewhere, threatens to increase associated problems in China, including the spread of HIV. Furthermore, the high purity of heroin used in this Province leads to rapid addiction and increased difficulties in treating the symptoms of withdrawal. One response to this epidemic is the development and implementation of the Kunming Drug Rehabilitation Center. The Center, with a capacity for 620 addicts, is grounded in a recovery-oriented perspective that is based on the Therapeutic Community model and modified for the Yunnan Province and China. It is referred to as the Kunming Model and is known for the development of its own medicine for detoxification and its individualized psychological, psychiatric, medical, and biosocial program. Similarities and differences between the Kunming Center and treatment programs in the United States are discussed and implications for universal approaches to drug treatment are addressed.
