Abstract
Recovery from drug addiction is often hindered by high relapse rates triggered by existential void and low psychological resilience. Conventional rehabilitation paradigms focus on the deficit model need to shift towards a growth approach through the concept of flourishing. Objective: This study aims to deeply explore the subjective experiences of residents in achieving a state of flourishing during the rehabilitation period. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four residents at Rumah Asa Silampari participated in this study, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed following the systematic stages of IPA. Results: The analysis yielded three superordinate themes: (1) Self-reconstruction and acceptance of the past, marking the integration of dark experiences into a growth narrative; (2) Resonance of social support as a resilience reinforcer, showing the crucial role of the facility community as a supportive ecosystem; and (3) Reorientation of hope and life goals, reflecting the rediscovery of eudaimonic meaningfulness. Conclusion: Flourishing acts as recovery capital that transforms the resident's identity from a victim of addiction into an individual with agency and future optimism. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a positive psychology curriculum in rehabilitation programs.
