Abstract

Drug abuse is becoming an increasingly widespread phenomenon nationally and globally. This grave social issue is not only affecting the adult population but also adolescents. Of late, substance abuse among adolescents is on a rising trend and is a cause for concern. The aim of this study is to measure the effects of career activities by using sandtray therapy on career self-efficacy among substance abuse clients. This study adopts a quasi-experiment single group research design that involves 32 adolescents at the Cure & Care (CnC) Clinic, supervised by the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK). The Career Decision Self-Efficacy Short-Form (CDSE-SF) has been used to measure pre-test and post-test values to assess the usefulness of sandtray therapy in terms career self-efficacy. The sandtray therapy approach has been found to increase the capability in career decision making. Follow-up studies should be done by experimental researchers to maximize the full potential of sandtray therapy in the rehabilitation of young addicts.
