Abstract

As mandated by th e Law for drug addicts/abusers, rehabilitation is carried out. Meanwhile, the

rules for drug addicts and psychotropic drugs or similar drugs that cause dependence and have a

serious impact are not regulated normatively. So that in the law enforcement process, both

Narcotics, Psychotropics and Drugs, Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning narcotics. In a practical level

or reality in the field, the implementation of rehabilitation is very monotonous and the road is in

place. Both the Narcotics Law, Seja, Sema and Perber all require that before waiting for the

decision of the panel of judges concerned as a ca tegory of addicts must be placed in a

rehabilitation institution. Of course, this is very worrying, how much will the rehabilitation

process cost? Economically, this law enforcement model is ineffective, so the implementation of

enforcement is in place.

Keywords: drug rehabilitation, rehabilitation model construction, non- penal policy.

1. Introduction

The era of globalization which is marked by the emergence of the Industrial

Revolution 4.0, to be precise in 2020-2030,

1 is predicted to have the opportunity to receive a

demographic bonus where the structure of Indonesia’s population will be dominated by the

productive age. It is hoped that this will have an impact on increasing community productivity

and spurring economic growth and optimizing development significantly. However, these great

opportunities can turn into disasters when we fail to manage these opportunities, for example, we

fail to protect the “productive age” from the threat of drug abuse. It is worth watching out, data

from the survey results of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in collaboration with the

University of Indonesia (UI) Health Research Center in 2017 shows that the prevalence of drug

abusers reaches 3,376,115 people or 1.77% of the total population of productive age (10-59 years).2

The large number of abusers or prevalence figures will be a big threat to the demographic bonus,

lest the demographic bonus that should be a bonus will turn into a disaster if we fail to suppress

the rate of increasing the number of abusers.

As the leading sector for the implementation of the Prevention and Eradication of

Narcotics Abuse and Illicit Narcotics (P4GN) program, the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) has
