Having a firsthand experience dealing with different patients, substance abusers are some of the most disturbed and unstable people in society. Most of the patients have had little discipline or too much, came from broken homes, and have no self-esteem. Patients are very insecure andare at war with themselves as well as society. Patients have in mind about the discrimination of the society that “an addict is always an addict.” Most of the patients did not learn moral values or learn to follow everyday norms due to being hooked on drugs (Abliter, Asi, and et al., 2015). Many researchers conducted studies to identify the role of self-esteem as one of the factors in selecting effective treatment programs. It is an intrinsic motivation that must be increased, of course, with the support of the abuser’s families. Also, the present study decided to experiment to compare the male substance abusers level of self-esteem and perception of family support using Therapeutic Community Program.
