The high prevalence of psychotic symptoms among psychoactive substance users underscores a critical mental health and public health challenge. Interventions targeting high-risk groups, including early screening, mental health education, and integrated rehabilitation programs, are urgently needed to reduce the burden of substance-related psychosis and improve mental health outcomes in this population. Targeted interventions, including community awareness campaigns, mental health screening in rehabilitation programs, and further research among other substance users, are urgently needed.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Keywords:</span></strong><span> </span><span><span> </span></span><span>Psychotic symptoms</span><span lang="SW">,</span><span> Psychoactive substance use</span><span lang="SW">,</span><span> Associated factors</span><span lang="SW">,</span><span> Huye Isange Rehabilitation Centr</span><span>e</span><span lang="SW">.</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Title:</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"> PREVALENCE OF PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE USERS AT HUYE ISANGE REHABILITATION CENTER</span><span lang="SW">, RWANDA</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="SW">Author:</span></strong><span lang="SW"> Damien Nsekeyimana</span><span lang="EN-US">,</span><span lang="SW"> Dr Jean Damasc</span><span lang="EN-US">è</span><span lang="SW">ne Iyamuremye,</span><sup> </sup><span lang="SW">Dr Monica Mochama, Alexis Nduwamungu,<sup>, </sup>Janvier Ndayambaje</span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">International Journal of Healthcare Sciences</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">ISSN 2348-5728 (Online)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Vol. 13, Issue 2, October 2025 - March 2026</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Page No: 247-258</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Research Publish Journals</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Website: www.researchpublish.com</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Published Date: 10-November-2025</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">DOI: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17569927"><strong><span>https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17569927</span></strong></a></span></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Paper Download link (Source)</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/prevalence-of-psychotic-symptoms-and-associated-factors-among-psychoactive-substance-users-at-huye-isange-rehabilitation-center-rwanda">https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/prevalence-of-psychotic-symptoms-and-associated-factors-among-psychoactive-substance-users-at-huye-isange-rehabilitation-center-rwanda</a></span></strong></p>
