Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed at exploring the psychosocial life aspects among substance misuse clients through conducting a review of the literature related to the research topic. A scoping search in the literature revealed the significant lack of both local, regional and international studies exploring the psychosocial life aspects among substance misuse clients who are at the rehabilitation stage.

Method: A comprehensive literature search was performed using the keywords: "psychosocial, "psychological", "social", "life", "rehabilitation" and "substance misuse". The search process was performed in the following electronic databases "MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO". Full text articles, published in English during the period between 2016 and 2021 were included in the literature.

Results: A total of 7 studies were found to be in relation with the topic addressed in this study, which is the psychosocial life aspects of substance misuse clients at rehabilitation phase. The results showed that there is a significant weakness of psychosocial life aspects among substance misuse clients, in addition to a significant lack of both educational and training program that aim at enhancing and improving the psychosocial life aspects among substance misuse clients who are at the rehabilitation phase.

Conclusion: The study concluded that there should be concise and clear measurement tools to be used in assessing the psychosocial life aspects of substance misuse clients who are the rehabilitation phase.
