The purpose of this study is to clarify the impact of implementing Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM) on addicted patients admitted to psychiatric hospitals. Ten subjects were compared before and after the program implementation. Significant improvements were observed in COPM performance (p=0.009), COPM satisfaction (p=0.006), and ESI (p=0.018). Results suggest that individual programs centered on occupation may be effective in improving clients’ subjective occupation performance and satisfaction, and social exchange skills. Such programs may also bring about positive changes in the client and help the continuation of community life. An Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM) may be an opportunity for clients to “connect” with people, the environment, and occupation.
