Abstract

The phenomenon of drug abuse in the community is becoming increasingly serious and difficult. This is getting worse because the drug which was originally a painkiller was abused. Even today's drug supply is very easy to get at a cheap price. The main objective of this research is to identify the constraints faced by former drug users to maintain self-recovery after completing the rehabilitation program. This research is qualitative research that uses a case study approach through in-depth interview methods. This research was conducted at two Terengganu State Parole Offices, Kuala Terengganu District Parole Office and Hulu Terengganu District Parole Office. This research involves an in-depth interview with 13 parolees as a research respondent. Sample selection was done through purposive sampling technique and the data obtained was analyzed using thematic analysis. Research findings show that there are two major constraints that former drug users have to face in maintaining self-recovery namely internal constraints and individual external constraints.
