This study explores the effectiveness of the community-based treatment and rehabilitation program for drug surrenderers in Barangay Dapitan, Municipality of Cordova. Utilizing a comprehensive survey, data were gathered and analyzed to assess the demographic characteristics of participants and evaluate the outcomes of rehabilitation and reintegration efforts. Findings indicate a prevalence of male participants aged 44-50, suggesting a correlation with drug use and health-related concerns. The community-based program demonstrated significant success, particularly in counseling, home-based care, psychosocial interventions, and preventive education. While some specific activities showed room for improvement, the involvement of experienced interventionists contributed to the overall effectiveness. Recommendations include enhancing counseling strategies, expanding life skills development, and strengthening family support. The proposed action plan outlines targeted initiatives to optimize rehabilitation and reintegration programs, emphasizing ongoing evaluation and participant feedback. This study contributes to the discourse on community-based drug rehabilitation, providing insights for program enhancement and sustainable impact.
