In Indonesia, the need for therapy and rehabilitation for drugs abusers and addicts has been considered a need as evidenced by Law 35 of 2009 concerning narcotics. The institutions authorized to formulate narcotics rehabilitation policies are the National Narcotics Agency, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Social Affairs. This study aims to show a comparative drugs policies related to narcotics rehabilitation services in Indonesia. This research was carried out using the Participatory Action Research approach to describe a comparative drug policy analysis among several institutions in Indonesia. In this study, there are comparative policies related to narcotics rehabilitation services from policymakers in Indonesia, namely the National Narcotics Agency, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Social Affairs. The paper argues that the partnership model is important to develop among rehabilitation services, it is the involvement of various other stakeholders such as rehabilitation program agencies, academics, counselors, addicts, and others. The development of a partnership model that involves more parties is a demand as well as a challenge in realizing a higher quality narcotics addiction rehabilitation program as one of the components of achieving a better health status in Indonesia.
