The aim of this study was to evaluate the hematology and blood chemistry results of recovering drug abusers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the secondary data from the medical records of 179 residents of the Rehabilitation Center of the National Narcotics Bureau in Lido, West Java, Indonesia. As the results, the study subjects had low red blood cell counts (38.55%), low hemoglobin counts (24.58%), low hematocrit levels (20.11%), high erythrocyte sedimentation rate levels (28.49%), high white blood cell counts (20.67%), low neutrophil counts (7.26%), high lymphocyte counts (16.20%), low eosinophil counts (18.45%), high aspartate aminotransferase levels (6.4%), high alanine aminotransferase levels (12.30%), and high creatinine levels (11.17%). As a conclusions, a number of the drug abusers evaluated in this research showed abnormalities in their hematology and blood chemistry data.
