Abstract
This study thus explores and identified the social support to drug surrenderers of the community-based rehabilitation program at the Municipality of Baungon, Province of Bukidnon. Using a mixed-methods research design, data was collected through a survey-questionnaire, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions from 142 drug surrenderers. The drug-surrenderers are mostly between 30 and 39 years old, married, with three to four children and low-skilled workers. Majority are high school graduates, thirteen of them were degree holders, and Roman Catholics. Data shows that the drug-surrenderers reports high level of emotional support from friends, significant other, and family. This strengthens the facts that friends, significant other, and family play a critical role in the recovery process of drug surrenderers. The study also found that age, civil status, educational attainment, and gender have a significant impact on perceived social support that shows that people have different attitude and treatment given to drug surrenderers according to their age bracket, civil status and educational attainment. While membership in organization did not show any significant difference on perceived social support. Thus, it is recommended that Community-based rehabilitation program in Baungon should continue to provide services to drug surrenderers. The government and non-government organizations may also work hand-in-hand to fight drug addiction in the country.
