It is also a vital stage of drug treatment as it can be an indication or evidence whether the procedures used during treatment is suitable or not in helping addicts from drug problem. This study has been purposely conducted as to develop a drug addiction recovery instrument and to measure the recuperation level of drug addicts who were treated in the rehabilitation centre. The study is conducted to test the validity and reliability of DART instruments involving four component consisting of DDA, DPRA, DRA, and CMSA. Therefore, the factors contributing to drug addiction recovery based on conceptual framework derived from previous studies conducted by other researchers. The results show that the DART instrument had high Cronbach's alpha values of 0.790 (DDA), 0.873 (DPRA), 0.881 (DRA), 0.845 (CMSA). PCA analysis has been used to evaluate these items either necessary to be retained or dropped. The results of the study found that all the items built have met the measurement characteristics of an instrument and can be used as a tool to measure the drug recovery addiction level.
