Substance abuse rehabilitation needs to be guided by well-developed practice model(s)

Although occupational therapy for substance abuse,as a field in psychiatric rehabilitation,has been implemented for over half a century,it still seems underdeveloped.This area of rehabilitation aims to enhance the quality of life of substance abuse rehabilitants and prevent them from relapse.;It can be achieved by enabling them to identify their meaningful occupations and occupational roles,and supporting them to re-engage in the occupations that they value,which would help empower them to overcome abuse.
