Abstract

This study examines the legal mechanisms for the social reintegration of drug addicts, focusing on rehabilitation as a transformative approach to enabling individuals to re-enter society as productive citizens. Using a normative juridical analysis, the research explores the alignment of national legal frameworks with international human rights standards and evaluates the challenges in implementing rehabilitation-focused policies. Findings reveal that while laws and policies supporting rehabilitation exist, their effectiveness is hindered by societal stigma, inconsistent application, and resource limitations. The study emphasizes the need for policy alignment with international standards, expansion of community-based programs, public awareness campaigns, and strengthened monitoring systems. These measures are essential for creating a supportive legal and social environment conducive to the successful reintegration of drug addicts into society.

Abstract

The research investigates law's role in promoting transformative justice through social engineering, focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration processes of drug addicts into society. This study applies a normative-juridical approach to evaluate Indonesia's legal frameworks for their effectiveness in handling addiction as a public health issue. Comparative analyses with international models, such as the decriminalization in Portugal and harm reduction policies in the Netherlands, show what a change of heart in legal philosophy might achieve. The findings put forward the majors lacuna in the present legislation: undue punitive, lack of supportive infrastructure, and stigma among society. Recommendations offered by the study go on to include legislative reform for rehabilitation, supportive infrastructure development, public-private partnership for effective reintegration. This paper advocates for a compassionate justice system that embeds transformative justice principles into legal frameworks, promoting societal productivity and inclusivity.
