Abstract:

This research was conducted in a rehabilitation setting to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment or program on the socio- emotional development of persons with substance use disorder using a mixedmethod research. Results of the study revealed that the Therapeutic Intervention Program was effective in enhancing the residents’ socio-emotional well-being in terms of the following aspects: (a) Self-Awareness ( x =4.60, Very High), (b) Self-Management ( x =4.58, Very High), (c) SocialAwareness, (d) Relationship Management ( x =4.51, Very High) and (e) Responsible DecisionMaking. It was found out that the existing program really helped in socio- emotional development of the residents and turned them into holistically transformed individuals. After conducting the study, it was revealed that the residents who are the main clientele of the center were satisfied with the services that Malinao Treatment and Rehabilitation Center is offering although there are still some areas that need enhancements. The behavior of the residents inside the center improved and they turned out to be more involved in the different learning activities inside the center. The trauma intervention program changed the perspectives of the residents in terms of their vision of the future. The residents’ decision-making skills were also sharpened during their stay at the rehabilitation center.
