Addiction treatment centres play a critical role in helping individuals to overcome substance abuse and to achieve a long-term recovery. However, these centres often face numerous challenges that can impact in the effectiveness of treatment programs and the overall well-being of patients. This paper explores the role of architectural design in solving problems faced by addiction treatment centres, aiming to enhance the therapeutic environment and to improve treatment outcomes. The present study analyzes the components of physical spaces in drug rehabilitation centres by using a theoretical and analytical approach, and descriptive-analytical method. The research aim is studying of interaction and relationship between patients, design elements and requirements, which significantly influence on patients in drug rehabilitation centres and the physical spaces defined by a range of aesthetic signs in its surrounding. Also, it shows how to apply these requirements in the design process. By considering the unique needs of patients and implementing though design strategies, centres can create spaces that able to heal, promote recovery, and enhance the overall well-being of individuals seeking treatment for addiction. There is a need to improve the physical environment of patients using aesthetic structures, such as enhancing of environment and spaces (indoors, outdoors).
