BACKGROUND: Methamphetamine use is a major social and health issue in the Philippines. Former president Rodrigo Duterte prioritized combating illicit drugs, and the government launched an anti-drug campaign. People with substance use disorders (SUD) receive treatment and care in the community or residential treatment at Treatment and Rehabilitation Centers (TRCs) established by the Department of Health. However, since the content and quality of service are not sufficient, there is an urgent need for improvement. To this end, it is necessary to understand demographic characteristics, the severity of drug use, and treatment needs of this population. METHODS: We conducted a questionnaire survey of people with SUD in the community (n=308) and all TRC patients (n=1770) to obtain their demographic profiles. We also used the Drug Abuse Screening Test-20 (DAST-20) and the Stimulant Relapse Risk Scale (SRRS). RESULTS: Based on DAST-20 scores, the severity of dependence was not well-matched to the care provided; 12.4% of the community sample was in the severe or substantial categories and 14.2% of the TRC sample was in the low category. The TRC sample had a significantly higher relapse risk than the community sample, which was associated with a lower educational attainment level and comorbid alcohol dependence. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to use standardized psychometric tools to match treatment with the severity of drug dependence. In addition, a wide variety of medical and social services need to be provided based on consideration of treatment needs to improve the well-being of this population.
