The findings indicated that about 98.5% of respondents experienced a moderate to high level toward the program. Pearson correlation analyses indicated that there is no relationship between overall drug rehabilitation program (r=-.049, p>.05) included program phase one (r=-.010, p>.05), phase two (r=-.074, p>.05), phase three (r=-.017, p>.05) and phase four (r=-.042, p>.05) toward relapsed addictions.
