Guidebook​: The use of Virtual Reality Technology for the rehabilitation
of drug users in Probation Service

The VRforDrugRehabilitation Handbook introduces a pioneering approach to drug rehabilitation by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) technology within probation services. The goal of this document is to guide practitioners in utilizing immersive VR experiences to support offenders in overcoming substance use. By simulating real-life scenarios, the program aims to help participants manage cravings, enhance emotional regulation, and develop coping strategies.

The handbook provides a structured methodology for implementing VR sessions, outlining its advantages, limitations, and best practices for rehabilitation professionals. This initiative seeks to reduce drug dependency, improve probation services, and foster lasting behavioural change.
