Abstract
The following document is the accumulation of assumptions to engage the architectural qualities of water and courtyards in drug rehabilitation recovery centers to improve patient recovery rates and provide a response to the challenges of addiction. The proposed long-term drug rehabilitation center is intended to serve young men between ages of 18-25 who have suffered from drug abuse trauma. The need for improvement in drug rehabilitation is highly prevalent with our current addiction nation's crisis which runs rampant. The work here represents a search to better understand what the role of architecture might provide.
