Drug abuse in the Philippines is multifactorial, and there is a need to study these different factors. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the effect of the Namalikmata Program on the beneficiaries in Santiago City particularly on the personal and external transformation in the lives of the beneficiaries. The study utilized the descriptive research design. The respondents of this study were the Namalikmata beneficiaries within Santiago City. Of the 1,800 noted drug users who surrendered in the different barangays of Santiago City, 30 beneficiaries participated in the study. Findings revealed that the Program turned out to have a higher impact especially in curbing out illegal drug activities in the community. This study found out that the program helps people to recover from the chronic illness that is brought by illegal use/abuse of drugs particularly those people who lost direction in life. The beneficiaries experienced personal changes in their physical, moral, and spiritual being after undertaking therapy under the program. The program helps the beneficiaries to value their own life by changing their lifestyle as they become more conscious about their health and be able to abide by the rules and regulations imposed by the program.
