| Abstract |
Drug camps have been used to treat substance use in Thailand since 2000s. However, there were researchers presented that drug camp’s effectiveness was unsatisfied to help the attendants to be abstinent. This study explored the drug camp’s effects by comparing a drug camp model, developed based on 12-Step, cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT), and group psychotherapy theory with the one, which currently has been used in drug camps in Thailand. One drug camp in Nakhon Ratchasima was selected as an area of study. Drug attendants who lived in Khong district were assigned into an experimental group, which used the new model (n = 35). Meanwhile, other attendants who lived in other districts in Nakhon Ratchasima were assigned into a control group (n = 57). Methamphetamine use behavior and self-efficacy were assessed before and after the camp. There was a significant effectiveness of the drug camp model in an experimental group and in control group on the level of the attendants’ self-efficacy after controlling the pre-test score of self-efficacy [F (1,89) = 8.15, p = 0.005]. Comparing the estimated marginal means showed that self-efficacy of the experimental group (mean = 44.80, SD = 1.33) higher than the control group (mean = 39.78, SD = 1.01). One year after camp, Cox proportional hazards regression presented that the chances of the attendants in the experimental group returning to methamphetamine use were reduced by 88%. (Adjusted Hazard = 0.120, 95%CI : 0.061-0.023) after controlling the confounding variables, including age, status, education, and occupation. |
