This study sought to evaluate the outcomes of a community-based rehabilitation program for voluntary and court-mandated drug users in the Philippines. Participants went through a bio-psycho-social-spiritual group-based program that aimed to develop their recovery skills and life skills. The program also included family modules to enhance their knowledge of drug use, its effects, and the role of family in recovery. A cohort design was used with pre- and posttest surveys administered before and immediately after the program. The sample consisted of 105 voluntary clients and 118 court-mandated clients who underwent screening or drug dependency evaluation and were recommended for community-based treatment. The program was conducted weekly by trained paraprofessionals. Results reveal significant improvements in recovery and life skills, well-being, quality of life, and family support for both voluntary and court-mandated clients. No significant differences were found between groups, suggesting that community-based interventions are a viable alternative to inpatient or treatment in closed settings for both voluntary and court-mandated clients
