This study aims to identify the profile, drug addict experience and measure social support family, friends and community among inmates undergoing drug treatment and rehabilitation volunteer at the Clinic Cure and Care 1Malaysia (1Malaysia C & C) Sg. Besi, Kuala Lumpur. Cross-sectional survey design quantitatively was used in the study. Quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The study sample consisted of 60 inmates who are undergoing treatment and rehabilitation volunteer at 1Malaysia Clinic C & C Sg. Besi, Kuala Lumpur. The instrument consists of five parts, demographics, drug use experience, family, peer and community support of respondents. This study showed that the majority of family support showed a moderate level of support to the high level of 65 percent to 32.7 percent. These findings give the impression that the respondents involved in this study had a good relationship with family members. The study further showed that the majority (76.7 percent) adolescents also shows a moderate to high level (13.3 percent) with their peers. This means that, most of the teens involved in the study had a close relationship with peers. Next, community support also achieves the same record of 78.3 percent of adolescents showed that public relations are a moderate to high (18.3 percent). Although this study showed positiveresults but there are still some respondents indicating support of family, friends and community is low. Thus, all three levels of support should be strengthened to assist respondents in the treatment and recovery process. High level of support from ‘significant other’ will reduce respondents’ addiction in a short time.
