MAHLANGU, Sonto  y  GEYER, Stephan. The aftercare needs of Nyaope users: implications for aftercare and reintegration services. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2018, vol.54, n.3, pp.327-345. ISSN 2312-7198.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-652.

Nyaope is a relatively new drug on the South African market and mostly (mis)used by youths. Without targeted intervention, this drug could negatively affect the wellbeing of the people involved. Aftercare and reintegration services are often downplayed, with little emphasis in both research and practice. This article reports on the aftercare needs of nyaope users from both the users' and the significant others' points of view in Hammanskraal (a South African township). A collective case study was implemented through semi-structured interviews with both nyaope users and significant others. Recommendations are offered to role players involved in aftercare and reintegration services.
