Abstract

This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy, social support, and motivation to change among individuals in recovery from substance use disorder in private rehabilitation centers in Selangor, Malaysia. A total of 130 respondents were recruited from three private rehabilitation centers using purposive sampling methods. Standardized instruments were used to measure key variables including the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) to assess confidence in one’s ability to cope with challenges; the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to measure support from family, friends, and significant others; and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) to evaluate motivation to change across different stages of recovery. Results from Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between self-efficacy, perceived social support, and motivation to change. Individuals who reported higher levels of self-efficacy and greater support from family and friends demonstrated stronger readiness for change. Further regression analysis showed that family support emerged as the most influential predictor of motivation to change. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of enhancing both self-efficacy and social support, particularly family involvement, in sustaining recovery. These results provide valuable insights for improving rehabilitation programs and tailoring interventions for individuals voluntarily seeking treatment in private rehabilitation centers in Malaysia.
