Abstract
Social work, as a helping profession, has the function of helping individuals, families, groups and even communities to enhance or restore their social functions. This role has been concerned by people from all walks of life engaged in drug rehabilitation work and research. Drug addicts are special vulnerable groups and high-risk vulnerable groups in the community. Social workers, with advanced working concepts and professional working methods, can better provide comprehensive services to drug addicts. From the aspects of social work of drug rehabilitation, coercive isolation and drug rehabilitation and community drug rehabilitation, the research on social work of drug rehabilitation in China is reviewed. It is hoped that more discussions will be conducted on the process of compulsory isolation and community detoxification with social work as a link, forming specific working models, summarizing experience and exploring theory.
