Text of Note

There has been limited research on the recovery process from addiction in Indonesia. Despite the increase in the number of Indonesians who are addicted to drugs, minimal research has been conducted to explore the factors motivating individuals to move towards a successful recovery process. In particular, research studies that incorporate the cultural belief system of Indonesian men and women with the recovery process are scarce. This is the first study that had explored the change process and recovery from substance abuse in Indonesian's men, considering their cultural perspective, which included their perspective on substance abuse, sobriety, and recovery using the qualitative method approach. This strategy was utilized to develop a better understanding of the means adopting applicability of the constructs of the TMC to Indonesian process of change as they progress towards recovery from substance abuse. The current study demonstrated five meaningful themes in Indonesian men's recovery process which included their sense of guilt and shame, the acknowledgement of family dynamic and support, their spirituality and religious beliefs, interpersonal relationships, and effort to rebuild trust. TMC appeared to be applicable within the Indonesian population, as it provides a deeper understanding of the key influences that promote change and successful recovery of the participants. The present findings have highlighted the importance of the applicability of the TMC model, and it allows researchers and practitioners to think beyond one's perspective of change and recovery from substance abuse.
