Abstract/Summary

Most of the studies in substance use disorder focused on the implementation of residential program hence, limited studies explored the aftercare and follow-up program despite its role in recovery. Readiness to change and the role of perceived family support are important factors that influence recovery outcomes, relapse, and quality of life. Readiness to change is positively linked to quality of life. Moreover, this study aimed to investigate if perceived family support moderates the relationship of readiness to change and quality of life of patients in aftercare setting. Applying predictive cross-sectional design, 213 aftercare patients from Department of Health-Treatment Rehabilitation Centers participated in this study. It was found out that readiness to change predicts quality of life. Furthermore, results showed that perceived family support moderated the relationship of readiness to change to quality of life. From these findings, we can derive several theoretical and clinical implications that may contribute to the knowledge, treatment and management of substance use disorder particularly aftercare and follow-up program.
