Healing Oasis: De-addiction center for drug addicts

Abstract

The number of drug cases increasing in Bangladesh is alarming. The police have taken the initiative to set up rehabs in every district to reduce the number of addicts in the country. Currently, there are only 328 treatment centers, and 23309 drug addicts receive treatment, but according to sources, there are 7 million Drug addicts. New advanced drug treatment and rehabilitation centers were built to provide and control this uprising demand for drugs. This paper seeks to state how these drug addicts can be treated by allocating better living conditions through spirituality and not segregating them from the community. With minimum interaction with the outside world, this project aims to provide patients with an open environment instead of confined spaces. The design approach helps to destigmatize the image of the de-addiction center through curative architecture and intent to escalate the recovery rate through therapeutic architecture. It is a rehabilitation center with a 250-bed treatment center with ICU facilities. And lastly, help the addicts to heal and prevent further damages caused by drug abuse through the power of architecture.
