Abstract

This study aims to identify the influence of self-efficacy and social support on drug avoidance among Supervised Individuals (OKP/RPDK) participating in community rehabilitation programs under the National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) in Hulu Langat. Drug avoidance is an important indicator in evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs and the ability of individuals to remain drug-free in high-risk relapse situations. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design involving 217 respondents undergoing treatment and rehabilitation programmes. Instruments included the Drug Avoidance Self-Efficacy Scale (DASES), the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and social support in relation to individuals’ ability to avoid drug use. Multiple regression analysis showed that self-efficacy significantly contributed to drug avoidance (β = .531, p < .05), followed by social support (β = .412, p < .05). The regression model accounted for 52.1% of the variance in drug avoidance. These two factors also contributed to reducing relapse likelihood and enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions. This study suggests that future interventions should focus on strengthening self-efficacy and social support as key strategies in relapse prevention.
