This study aims to examine the implementation of the Therapeutic Community (TC) model in the rehabilitation process of drug addicts at Medan Plus Rehabilitation Foundation, Rantau Prapat. The research applied a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that the TC program is carried out in several phases: orientation, primary, re-entry, and aftercare. Clients are trained in discipline, building healthy social relationships, and strengthening self-control and motivation for a drug-free life. The TC method is proven effective in fostering behavioral change, increasing self-confidence, and reducing relapse tendencies. The challenges encountered include limited trained human resources, inadequate facilities, and initial client resistance to community-based routines.
