Research related to drug dependence and recovery shows that it is necessary to understand the
concept of recovery from dependent drug use. The study sought to examine how dependent drug
users recover from drug dependency in Mewa Drugs Treatment Centre in Mombasa. It aimed at
establishing the effect of training of the care givers; the effects of planning and the effects of
monitoring and evaluation on performance of drug addicts rehabilitation project a case study of
Mewa drugs treatment Centre in Mombasa Kisauni Sub County. To strengthen the conceptual
framework the study used three management theories. The study made use of primary data which
was obtained through questionnaires with respondents at the MEWA. The sample size was 30. A
modified Likert scale questionnaire was developed divided into three parts. To refine the
instrument, a pilot study was carried out. The researcher used Cronbach's alpha to assess the
quality and consistency of the study. Analysis was completed using frequency counts,
percentages, means and standard deviation, regression, correlation. The information produced
was summarized in tabular form. The study recommended that training; policy planning and
monitoring & evaluation are among the major project management practices that the
rehabilitation project should ensure they are successfully implemented for the benefit of the
addicts. The study population comprised of respondents from only one Mombasa based drug
addict rehabilitation center. The researcher therefore suggested more studies in different
rehabilitations centers to be carried out to try and compare results for consistencies and provide
more solutions. The study also suggested that each of the outlined objectives can be researched
on independently.
