Methadone Maintenance Therapy Program (PRTM) is a service of maintenance given to IDUs who are in public health centers, such as the provision and delivery of Methadone (as legal drugs) taken orally (taken by mouth), to replace the drugs (illegal drugs) consumed by injecting. The development of these services requires management to achieve the optimum quality of service from the health providers. This study aims to explore the experience of the services of health workers in conducting PRTM at the Manukan Kulon and Jagir public health centers. The study design was qualitative with phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews with participants who act as service giver of Methadone in Rehabilitation Therapy at Jagir and Manukan Kulon Public Health Centers.
