10. Summary of thesis results:
Research results show that drug addicts have had positive changes when participating in community treatment in terms of physical and mental health, especially reducing drug use as well as limiting HIV infection and other infectious diseases due to sharing needles. However, most addicts encounter some difficulties in maintaining drug addiction treatment, side effects from using methadone replacement drugs, psychological problems affecting life and quality of treatment, addicts face stigma and have not received practical attention and support from the community and society. Therefore, addicts want to receive support in addiction treatment to successfully quit, solve psychological and physical problems that can lead to relapse and need to access other integration support services, such as: job support, economic support... At the same time, addicts clearly realize that the most important thing in giving up drugs is help from family and the addict himself. This is one of the decisive factors for researchers to propose methods to support addicts in addiction treatment through promoting the role and capacity of each individual addict in self-help group activities.
11. Practical application:
The research results of the thesis can be a useful reference for leaders at community-based addiction treatment facilities, especially Methadone treatment facilities, to consult, advise and build good addiction treatment support activities with the participation of social workers to solve difficulties and meet the needs of addicts. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the situation of drug re-use and drug-related evils.
12. Further research directions:
If possible, further research will be conducted to develop support models with the participation of social workers on a large scale to improve the effectiveness of drug addiction treatment for drug users.
