The Influence of Psychological Components on Treatment Readiness among Drug Users: A Simple Linear Regression Analysis

Abstract

This study used linear regression analysis to examine the influence of four main psychological components, namely awareness, willingness, perseverance, and self-control on treatment readiness among drug users. This study involved 217 male drug users who were undergoing rehabilitation treatment at private rehabilitation centers between July and September 2025. In the sampling procedure, the census sampling method was used by including all individuals who met the participation criteria to ensure maximum coverage of the target population. This sample size is sufficient for the statistical analysis conducted. The results of the study indicate that the reliability analysis demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with three components achieving Cronbach’s alpha values exceeding 0.90 and one component exceeding 0.80. The level of treatment readiness was high, with the majority of drug users in the rehabilitation centers in the very ready category (83.40%), followed by the ready category (12.00%), less ready (3.70%), and not ready (0.90%). In addition, regression analysis showed that all four psychological components had a significant influence on the level of treatment readiness. Overall, this study concludes that internal psychological components play an important role in influencing drug users’ readiness to receive rehabilitation treatment. The ReDATT instrument, which was developed based on the conceptual framework of the study and supported by previous researchers, was found to be suitable for use as a drug addiction treatment readiness assessment tool and has the potential to increase the effectiveness of recovery interventions in the context of drug addiction treatment.
