<br/><br/> The Katatagan Kontra Droga para sa Komunidad (KKDK) is a Filipino community-based drug recovery program that addresses individual <br/>and family issues. This study explores the changes in the family after <br/>the drug users completed the program. Surveys and interviews were <br/>used to evaluate changes in family support, quality of family life, and <br/>substance use disorder (SUD) symptoms. Results show participants <br/>perceived signifcant increase in family support and quality of family <br/>life, as well as decrease in SUD symptoms. Their family members also <br/>reported individual and familial changes in the participants as a result <br/>of the program. They showed remorse, became more responsible, and <br/>communicated better after going through the intervention. There was <br/>also an improvement in quality of family life, religious rituals, and time <br/>spent with the family. Implications on community-based drug recovery <br/>programs focusing on family changes are discussed.
