The issue of drug abuse is a global concern and is also a major issue in Malaysia. Individuals involved in drug-related problems experience disturbances in terms of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. This study aims to explore the support system and conflict management of supervised clients in treatment and recovery programs through a group counseling approach. There are 5 respondents involved in this study, consisting of supervised clients undergoing treatment and recovery programs at the National Anti-Drug Agency in the Jelebu district. The study objectives were achieved through open-ended interview questions conducted in psychoeducational group counseling sessions. The findings of this study were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of this study indicate that respondents have a clear understanding of the support system and agree that the support system plays a significant role in aiding their recovery. Additionally, there is an understanding of conflict management, specifically the conflicts they face during the recovery process. Respondents understand that conflicts are a part of life, whether for normal individuals or recovery fighters like themselves. It is recommended that guidance and counseling groups in addressing drug addiction issues employ various modules or approaches to facilitate assisting clients in the recovery process.
