Abstract
ABSTRACT In the context of traditional use of alcohol among various ethnic groups in Nepal, there appears to be a need to better understand if perceived social support provided by family and friends aids in the recovery process. The objective of the study was to examine the association between perceived social support and the motivation to change drinking behavior among 225 consenting male patients who screened positive for alcohol use disorder (AUD) in eight alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Kathmandu, Nepal. The results of the study concluded that more than 50% were ambivalent toward the process of change and indicated that social support is likely to benefit those in the recovery process by improving their motivation to change.
