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.
