China's drug users have been shown a growth trend all the time, and the government has no good solution for the drug users'social integration. The reason is consisted of two aspects: on one hand, it is because of social tagging problem. As soon as the drug user is exposed to the public, he will be tagged as a man of low social value, behavior corruption and mental defection. Such kind of social tagging consciousness derives from the definition of the government towards the drug users. Over the years, from the punishment countermeasures to the publicity orient, the government took the drug users as a group of men who had severely violated the social rules and should be condemned. However, the drug users'dependence and desire towards the drug is just a kind of brain disease and it is out of the drug users'control. Besides a criminal, the drug user should also be defined as a patient or a victim. In the resent years, the Chinese government has been gradually changing its attitude towards the drug users, it tend to treat the drug users with the therapeutic method instead of punishment only. On the other hand, the government has not found an effective managerial countermeasure yet to help the drug users integrating with the society. Although we have imported a serial of measures such as the Methadone Maintenance Treatment and Clean Needle Exchange Program, and they have effectively prevented the spread of the AIDS and other blood or bodily fluids borne diseases, but such kind of measures can only reduce the harm of drug to some extent, they can not solve the drug use problem, and they can not thoroughly solve the social function recovery problem of the drug users.To help the drug users retreat from the dependence on the drugs, recover their social functions and finally reintegrate with the society, this article applies the social tagging theory and social and psychological correction theories to study the problem. Basing on the analysis of the current situation of the drug users in China, the essay analyzes the managerial measures and existing problems on the government efforts to help the patients to reintegrate with the society. Taking advantage of the foreign practical experience on the reintegration with the society of the drug users, the author puts forward some managerial measures to help the patients from the following five aspects with the Chinese characteristics in mind: the therapy modes, help and education agencies, dynamic management and control, drug-free community construction and employment realization modes.
