Abstract

Indonesia declared an -extreme narcotics emergency situation- in July 2017. President Jokowi Administration has taken tough drug stance due to its public health allert that comes together with damaging social economic issues. A survey by Indonesian National Narcotics Board (2017) estimated 3.36 million Indonesians suffer narcotics addiction likely in their productive age. Even more so, it is assumed that drug abuse contributes to the death of thirty people daily in Indonesia. The estimated socio-economic cost of treating the abuse could reach up to eighty billion rupiahs yearly (BNN, 2017). The long term treatment it takes for the government to assist those with addiction demand comprehensive approach to be successful (UNODC, 2009; WHO, 2004; McLellan et al., 2009; Hser & Anglin, 2011). This study puts forward a claim that a proper cross boundary, intergovernmental health cover system is vital to cope with the social economic damage of the issue. The government-s hard line for drug convicts should be in line with the public health assistance for those wanting to get out of addiction cycle as mandated in law no 35 year 2009 on narcotics. The research aims at providing discourse on critical systemic thinking (Midgley, 2000, McIntyre-Mills, 2013, Riswanda, 2016) with respect to how and why public-private health partnership model could come up with strategic innovation in terms of providing drug abuse rehabilitation service through the National Health Insurance System .
