Indonesia.
Villa Pandawa YAKITA in Ciawi offers a 6-month
residential treatment and recovery programme for drug addicts and
their immediate families, and a peer counseling programme aimed
at producing qualified and skilled peer counselors in the field
of drug addiction.
6-month treatment programme
| YAKITA’s
residential treatment programme is based on a 6-month educational
system which concentrates on understanding addiction and the
life of an addict. The programme’s aim is to produce
life changes for addicts and their families. The programme
combines university level education, experiential process
work and therapy, and family involvement and participation,
conducted within a residential environment.
Operating as a rotational educational and experiential system,
individuals may enter the programme at anytime during the
6-month cycle and be able to receive the full benefit of the
seven modules that frame the programme.
Six days each week, participants on the programme
are involved in studies and training. YAKITA staff and professional
counselors are at hand to provide daily, direct contact. Participants
are involved in group work, personal therapy, family counseling
(where possible), supervision, guidance and direction.
YAKITA's treatment programme is geared towards creating an
intense therapeutic involvement that helps to complement and
increase the individual's reasoning and intellect. It aims
to establish positive changes in attitude and behavior to
promote moral and ethical characteristics that are instrumental
in rebuilding self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence.

Peer
Counselling Programme
The Residential Peer Counselling programme is a 6-month intensive
training and experiential programme, aimed at producing qualified
and skilled Peer Counselors, to meet the rising crisis within Indonesia
related to drug addiction, HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C.
The programme is based upon the concept of "Addicts helping
Addicts".
Addicts and families of addicts understand addiction far better
than those with no addiction background. Training young Indonesians
(reformed addicts) to be counselors and facilitators has proven
to be the most effective direction to take in the journey towards
combating addiction.
The peer counseling training is a programme of "total commitment".
The success of the programme rests on addicts and their families
devoting their time, energy and effort. The curriculum for healing
from the scourge of addiction revolves around family involvement
and participation in family counseling (where possible).
The programme is dedicated to producing certified peer counselors
as 'specialists' who are:
• Competent and capable of running treatment centres and facilitating
groups
• Able to manage an office, write project proposals and supervise
programmes
• Capable in conducting intervention procedures and relapse
prevention programmes
• Able to teach, share and train on various educational and
informative methods of addiction recovery, within all levels of
the Indonesian community
