Despite the almost equal number of women and men drug abusers, rehabilitation facilities for women are still lacking. Such a facility is critical to release drug abusers from bondage of drugs and to return to social life in their community. During the rehabilitation process, the patients, especially women, will experience periods of emotional instability so that a separate treatment is required. Located in Langkat, North Sumatera Province, this rehabilitation center was designed using behavioral approach. It integrates buildings with nature through the arrangement of green spaces, spatial fluidity, and the horizontal building appearance, to create an environment that supports healing process. The complex accommodates medical rehabilitation, social rehabilitation (therapeutic community), and moral rehabilitation (religious coping).
