This study is a quantitaive and descriptive research. 76 individuals who are diagnosed with alcohol and substance abuse who are being treated in the Ankara E ğ itim ve Ara ş tırma Hastanesi AMATEM clinic is the sample space of this study. The majority subjects of the research are, young single male adults who are heroin addicts. The average age of drug addicts are lower than that of the alcohol addicts. More than half of the participants are out of work (56,6%), on the other hand 1/5th of them have irregular jobs and most of them live with their family. Participants’ evaluation of treatment clinics facilities and activities and about the treatment staff is positive. The most negative feedback is about the security guards. The number of subjects find the treatment methods either inadequate or improvable is high (61,8%). Availibility of a regular job, medical care, personal and family counselling are the most needed services. They think that the number of treatment clinics are low, the duration of the treatment is short and the treatment methods are inadequate. The number of treatment options should be widened utilizing the good international treatment practices and rehabilitation and social reintegration services at post-discharge phase should be improved.
