Abstract

Through the Ministry of Health, the government, to meet people^s needs with mental problems that put in the stocks (Pasung) and neglected, had launched the Indonesia Free of Stock (Indonesia Bebas Pasung / IBP) Program of 2014. However, now there is no effective and comprehensive treatment for people with mental disorders. Therefore, the IBP Program of 2014 revises into the IBP Program of 2019. Act of ^Pasung^ is an effort to bind or physically restrain people with mental disorders (Orang Dengan Gangguan Jiwa / ODGJ) and aggressive or dangerous people in the community, which results in loss of freedom to access services that can help the recovery function of ODGJ. Law on Mental Health has been stipulated, has a purpose- provide protection and guarantee mental health services for ODGJ based on human rights, provide integrated, comprehensive, and sustainable health services and provide opportunities for ODGJ to be able to obtain their rights as Indonesian citizens.
The most dominant factors causing the act of ^Pasung^ on ODGJ in Indonesia are the family^s economic status, ignorance of mental health treatment facilities, and living in areas far from urban areas. ^Pasung^ is the last option as an effort to protect and care for ODGJ because their family has taken all types of treatment. Based on the results of the Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar / Riskesdas) in 2013, out of around 400,000 people with severe mental disorders, one of seven^s ODGJ has experienced ^Pasung,^ and the chance for this is more significant in the group of people who live in rural areas or come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The act of ^Pasung^ still exists in the Riau area, such as in Pelalawan Regency.
