This article examines the current status of social work services in supporting drug-abusers such as counseling, health care, legal assistance, employment, referral, etc. Research results show that these services are still limited in terms of service coverage and quality, and drug-abusers' low satisfaction with the given services. The reasons identified include Complicated administrative procedures, poor quality of service and staff, high service costs, non-modern service facilities, etc. Thereupon, the author proposes some recommendations for the State, labor-invalids and social affairs sector, and local authorities as well as the community to develop the quantity and quality of social work services for drug-abusers in Vietnam.
