relapse among former addicts are at a high level for all high-risk situation dimensions. This means the participating respondents are at a high-risk of relapse. Therefore, in their efforts to combat the problem of relapse, the National Antidrug Agency (AADK) and the Cure and Care Rehabilitation Centre (CCRC) must take into account risk factors that contribute to relapse among addicts, and then adopting them as a guideline to further strengthen strategies
