摘要：Rehabilitation from drug addiction is a process of transition from drug dependency towards leaving or at least reducing drug intake. Addicts who attended treatment, on average, had the motivation to mitigate or leave addiction forever because they have high expectations and hopes to build a better life together with their family members. This study was undertaken in order to identify the addicts’ expectations and hopes towards their family members in helping out throughout their rehab. This study also aims to find out the addicts’ hopes to provide a better future for their family after they are free from addiction. This study uses qualitative methods in which data was obtained through structured interviews using a questionnaire on 32 respondents who are currently following the methadone treatment in the districts of Besut and Jertih, Terengganu. The data were descriptively analysed. The study found that the addicts expect non-material supports such as family support, family acceptance and love whilst hoping to provide material support such as financial assistance to their family. In short, addicts’ expectations and hopes are the main motivation for them to undergo rehabilitation because they have goals to achieve, not only for themselves but also for their loved ones.
