Theories and models about drug addiction recovery have given focus on individual recovery such as the Transtheoretical Model of Readiness to Change and Self Determination Theory (SDT). Although individuals have the determination to cease drug abuse behavior, they are greatly influenced by self-stigma and societal acceptance. Therefore, identifying the factors that influence social recovery is very important so that individuals can successfully become free from drugs. The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between social support, negative emotions and social recovery, as well as to test the role of self-stigma as a mediator in the relationship between social support, negative emotions and social recovery. This study employed a survey method involving 344 respondents of Persons Under Surveillance (OKP). A set of questionnaires was used in data collection that contained five parts, namely: 1) demographic information, 2) social support that measured family support, peer support, and community support, 3) negative emotions, 4) self-stigma and 5) social recovery. The results of the study showed that there were significant influence of family support, friend support and community support towards social recovery, but negative emotions did not significantly predict social recovery. The results of the study also showed that self-stigma did not play a role as a mediator in the relationship between social support, negative emotions and social recovery. The results of this study are important to contribute to programmes that target social rehabilitation of individuals. This can help rehabilitation agencies in achieving the 2025 Controlled Drugs agenda and the National Drug Policy in Malaysia.
