This study aimed to describe family and social environment factors to clients on drug abuse. This was descriptive research in that number of samples was 75 respondents selected by purposive sampling. The results revealed that most of the clients had inappropriate family and social environments.

Furthermore, families are suggested to support and deliver more attention to clients who had run the rehabilitation process.
