Abstract:Modeling itself like other developed nations, Qatar has taken steps to provide integrated care in the area of combating drug addiction. To this end, multiple dimensions have been developed such as : national strategy for combating drugs in the state of Qatar (2010-2015), national vision of Qatar, 2030, along with conclusions reached by numerous studies affirming effectiveness and efficiency of protection, treatment, and rehabilitation in this regard. However, little evidence is available on reasons and manifestations of the addict's resistance to the provided treatment. Such resistance is therefore, a waste of material and human resources, sustained by the society, concerned foundations and families of the afflicted addicts. A direct consequence of such resistance is a relapse and return to drug abuse, thus impacting negatively on sustainable development programs within the society.
