Malaysia began to highlight Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. One of the targets is to strengthen the prevention and treatment of drug abuse. The recovery process among drug abuser always threatened with relapse issues. 555 Note Book is one of the initiatives proposed to empower them to sustain their recovery. Two strategies are highlighted by inculcating trust and building self-confident. This initiative is equipped with user friendly characteristics, ease of use and a Malaysian way to portray trust. Therefore, this initiative could be one of the approaches to reduce relapse and sustain the drug treatment programme in Malaysia.
