Design of Drug Rehabilitation and Substance Dependency Center with Behavioral Architecture

Abstract

Drug abuse is a global issue with a high prevalence in Indonesia. To address it, drug rehabilitation centers are needed as a place to help abusers recover from their dependence. However, in reality, rehabilitation facilities provided by the government and the private sector are still inadequate and insufficient. Therefore, it is important to design a drug rehabilitation center building that is able to facilitate the healing process by applying the theme of behavioral architecture. This aims to create a comfortable environment that can accelerate the recovery process of the patients. Designing a Drug Rehabilitation Center is a strategic effort to address the serious problems associated with drug abuse and drug dependence. Substance abuse has become a global health problem that requires a holistic and integrated approach in the rehabilitation and recovery of affected individuals. The behavioral architecture approach includes the design of spaces that promote comfort, safety, and positive social interaction. Therapeutic spaces are designed to create an environment that stimulates behavioral change through the strategic placement of architectural elements that support the therapeutic process. In addition, the design pays attention to interior design details that can stimulate positive emotional responses, such as the use of color, texture, and lighting.
