Analysis of Data

       To date, there were 45 residential and 4 out-patient centers nationwide reporting actively to the Secretariat.

       As of CY 2002, a total of 5,965 admissions were reported by these centers. Of this number, 4,565 were newly admitted from residential centers, 1,062 were relapsed cases, and 338 were reporting in out-patient centers. Compared to the previous year (2001), there was a decrease rate of 17.53% in new admissions and an increase rate of 6.09% in relapse cases. The decrease in the number of new admissions were more likely the result of overcrowding in government centers, high cost of treatment, and rehabilitation in most private centers and the passage of the stricter Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. The increase in the number of relapse cases may be attributed to some clients who were not yet motivated to change or accept the reality that they need professional help. It may also be due to peer pressure, which they found difficult to resist after discharge from the rehabilitation centers.

       The highest percent distribution of cases came from the National Capital Region or Metro Manila area with 2,497 or 51% of the total admissions nationwide. It was followed by Region III (20.58%) and Region IV (16.42%).
