Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the substance-use history of young people in a rehabilitation center in Berlin with a therapeutic community structure, their thoughts about the rehabilitation process, and the evaluations of the center's employees. Methods: The study used interviews with the young people in the rehabilitation process and the professionals working in the institution as well as observation studies over a period of three-months. A total of 23 people participated in the study, including 13 young people in the rehabilitation process with a history of substance use and 10 professionals working at the institution.
