Highlights
● One of the strongest predictors of effective treatment and long-term avoidance after addiction treatment is to achieve successful employment.
● There is a significant relationship between increasing occupational activity and reducing drug use.
● Successful treatment should resolve occupational issues.
Plain Language Summary
Unemployment is one of the challenges faced by people with drug-related disorders so that even standard treatments are less likely to be employed after treatment . However, successful treatment and long-term avoidance alone cannot guarantee that the former addict can find a job suitable to his or her condition or will be employed. So these former addicts need to receive special care services. The occupational rehabilitation program helps people with drug-related problems to get a decent job by recognizing their individual needs and referring to appropriate services. Job rehabilitation helps individuals develop a realistic perspective on their skills, abilities, and limitations, as well as coping skills, and other competencies.
