The Impact of Integrated Psychospiritual Module among the Drug Addicts in Malaysia in Elevating the Psychospiritual and Drug-Related Locus Of Control Level towards the decrease of Relapse Rate

Abstract

The fluctuating number of relapse cases among the drug addicts in Malaysia has been creating many worries to all parties. This urges the parties to this problem to restudy its contributing factors, improve current treatments employed and discover the other potential dimensions of human to accommodate the very need of the drug addict clients to stay abstinent. Considering the psychosocial and vocational elements we have had in current practices that seemingly provide a room for improvement, the new dimension of human psychospiritual approach was particularly put forth in this research. The Islamic psychospiritual model centring on Islamic Sufism principles in combination with Interpersonal and Intrapersonal elements was established in this research as the guiding principles to develop an Integrated Psychospiritual Module (IPM) in reducing relapse rate. This module was particularly focusing on the weightage of drug-related locus of control and psychospiritual level of drug addicts to stay abstinent. The effectiveness of the module was measured by imposing it as psycho-educational intervention treatment upon the purposive sampling of 38 clients in a drug rehabilitation center in Malaysia. One group experimental design was suitably formed and t-Test analysis was used to measure the significant difference between the pre and post test mean values to see the effectiveness of the module by using two specific instruments that measure both aformentioned aspects. Both variables showed

Environmental Impact on Relapse and Motivation Recovery Among Drug Addicts

“…Drug addiction has been defined as a psychological disorder in which an individual misuses drugs and, as a result, the addict faces mental instability (Martini et al, 2022). A rapid increase in drug relapse has been found overwhelmingly in the Malaysian population from 2010 to 2015; 34,209 cases of drug relapse have been registered by the National Anti-Drug Agency (NADA) (Shafie et al, 2018). The 2018 report by the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) on drug addict statistics shows that the number of new cases in Malaysia is 17,474, and the number of repeat cases is 7,793.…”
