The data uploaded here describes the study result that presents a correlation between ADSs' recovery rates and a well-designed therapeutic environment. So, there is a need for evidence-based design (EBD) of rehabilitation centres with full compliments of a therapeutic architectural environment and integration of mental health services into routine care in sub-Saharan Africa.Limitations include that analyses were cross-sectional and thus may not deduce causal directions, and the authors based the result on self-report.The study was a case study of four rehabilitation centres in Nigeria’s busiest cities; Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Enugu. The authors collected data via survey questionnaires, an in-depth interview guide, an observation guide, and a checklist of TACs in a healthcare facility.The authors interviewed twelve selected sufferers and specialists from the four (4) rehabilitation centres and Three (3) interviewees from each of the rehabilitation facilities (The 12 participants were purposively selected from the four (4) randomly selected rehabilitation facilities in the four busiest cities (Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt and Enugu) across four (south-west, north-central, south-south and south-east) of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The authors selected 3 out of the 12 participants from the four facilities. The three participants comprised: 1. the chief consultant, 2. a specialist nurse and 3. an alcohol drug sufferer (ADS). Therefore, three from ADRS-RC, Lagos, three (3) from NLSHRC, Abuja, three (3) from 180DC, Port Harcourt and three (3) from NPHS, Enugu total of 12 participants). Also, the study used observation guides and checklists to record data on the available TACs in the four facilities that influence the patient's psychosocial well-being. The authors used a semi-structured questionnaire to identify the psychosocial well-being needs (PWNs) of ADSs. The breakdown of the number of questionnaires administered and the responses are in table 1. The authors designed these questionnaires to be completed by the patients (ADSs).Four research assistants undertook the data gathering process for twelve weeks during the morning and evening, during weekends (Fridays to Sundays). Data collection started on July 15 and ended on September 30, 2022.
