It is very disheartening to all and
sundry that as Ghana steadily climbs
the ladder of development, an
increasing number of our youth,
supposedly the spine of our growth,
are taking to drugs, which ruin their
lives and drag the nation’s progress.
Cannabis (hashish and marijuana)
Cocaine and heroin
The illegal drugs most frequently consumed in Ghana are:

Cpt. Baffour Gyimah (Ex.NACOB)
Drug addiction assumes disturbing dimension

“Ghana Needs Rehab Centre For Addicts” – S.
Stanley Eyo [NACOB]
Even though drug abuse and
addiction is an unfortunate situation
that is taking the better part of the
youth nowadays, the number of
youth engaged in it increases every
day.
According to the 2007 World Drug Report by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, 21.5% of
Ghanaians, aged from 15 to 64, smoked marijuana or used another cannabis product in 2006.
The report continues that Ghanaians use drugs more than five times the world average, which,
as a result, has made Ghana the leader of African countries and third in the world in cannabis or
marijuana behind Papua new Guinea & Micronesia
“Ghanaian chronicle”(May 4,2014)
Ntampi Usage in Ghana
”People who use drugs are turned to
the psychiatric homes, but in reality
the psychiatric home is not the place
for drug addicts.”
LIFE STYLE OF DRUG ADDICTS IN GHANA
Since there is no drug addiction rehab facility to cater for such people ,they end up eventually at
the psychiatric hospitals.

such as crime, violence and mental illness “ Rev. E. P.

OUTPATIENT SERVICE
Special study
INPATIENT SERVICE
Outpatient service offers treatment to patients
without staying overnight. Provides flexible times
that allow individuals to participate in both their
daily affairs and treatment. It is common to continue
outpatient treatment after a 90-day drug rehab
program has been completed.
The inpatient service is normally inpatient facilities. During this
time, patients live at the facility and interact with their peers
and doctors. This allows for medical care to be available at all
times, which is perfect for those who may have psychological
dependencies that need assistance.

and crops to produce gas for electricity, cooking and lighting.
The proposed facility will take advantage of the fuel produce from the biogas for cooking
RAINWATER HARVESTING

Philosophy & concept
The main philosophybehind the design :
 Healing environment
 Safety & security
 Sense of communal living
 Patient - centered
The design seek to provide an
environment which will expedite the
recovery of patients through the
creation of the following
Nature is said to reduce stress & improve
clinical outcomes(Ulrich,2002).therefore
the incorporation of more greeneries &
gardens will be created for patients to
have a view and also have contact with
them
“SERENITY FOR HEALING”
The main concepts behind the design
MODERNISM
Using natural colours
This can be achieved by;
 Creating an environment with therapeutic effects on
• Colour
• material
• texture
 Creating a healing environment with the introduction of
therapeutic gardens
“CONNECTING OF INTERIOR & EXTERIOR
SPACES
Themes of modernist architecture
 simplicity and clarity of forms
 visual expression of structure
 use of industrially-produced materials; adoption of the
machine aesthetic
 A visual emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines
 The result of design should derive directly from its
purpose

Brief Development
This design seeks to involve the community in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with several levels of drug addiction. Due to the
nature of the de addiction treatment, it makes it very difficult for families or community to wean the victims of the addiction; therefore
there is a need for such a facility to house them and provide them with all the necessary amenities to help in their recovery and
rehabilitation.

SITE EXISTING
N
The Site is gently inclined
towards south about 10
degrees with respect to the
north facing upwards
The Site has slopes rising about
1m from the extreme north and
500mm from the east
The Site has a huge vegetation with
different species of trees plants which
will be invaluable for the establishment
of the proposed therapeutic gardens
The Site’s major access road is
directly from the front .
There is possible secondary road
which can equally have access to
the site through the hospital
The Site is divided into (3) basic zones.
 The public zone like the main detox block, should be facing towards
the road.
 Semi-private zone like inpatient activities and cafeteria come in the
middle
 Private zone : accommodation
