Abstract

Background: The focus of this study is to explore readiness for drug treatment among individuals with addiction issues at the Al-Sadiq Al-Tayeb Association in Jerusalem. Methods:  A descriptive approach was employed, involving a sample of 105 individuals who provided informed consent. The Socrates Scale, a tool assessing motivation for change in drug-taking behaviors, was used to measure readiness for treatment. This tool has shown high validity and reliability, as evidenced by its Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: Statistical analyses indicated significant differences in readiness for treatment based on social status, with divorced individuals exhibiting the highest levels of readiness, followed by married and single individuals. Employment status was also a significant factor, with unemployed participants being more ready for treatment than their employed counterparts. Furthermore, ease of access to drugs was correlated with increased readiness for treatment. The type of substance abused also affected readiness, with cocaine users showing greater readiness than cannabis users. Conclusions: These findings highlight the complexity of readiness for treatment and suggest the need for a tailored intervention approach to improve rehabilitation efforts. These results underscore the importance of considering social status, employment status, ease of access to drugs, and the type of substance abused when developing treatment strategies.
