Abstract

This community service activity aims to empower groups undergoing drug rehabilitation through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. This approach emphasizes changing thought and behavior patterns, aiming to help participants manage urges to use drugs, develop stress management skills, and face social pressures more adaptively. The program is conducted at the Lentera Putih Bersinar Drug Rehabilitation Community in Metro City, Lampung Province, involving 10 participants currently in recovery. The implementation methods include intensive training, group counseling, and individual therapy sessions led by professionals. Results indicate an improvement in participants' understanding of adaptive thinking patterns, emotional management skills, and a reduction in drug-use urges. Evaluation shows that after the program, participants enhanced their skills in identifying and managing addiction triggers and developed a more positive and resilient mindset. Based on these results, the CBT-based empowerment program provides long-term skills that support participants in sustaining their recovery. In conclusion, CBT in drug rehabilitation shows promising potential for sustainable development and broader community application.
