This paper examined the effects of self -efficacy (general and coping self –efficacy) on addiction recovery and relapse in substance users. The participants of the study were 100 SUD-diagnosed male patients, aged 21-40 years, undergoing treatment at Swami Vivekanand Drug De-Addiction & Treatment Centre, Government Medical College, Amritsar (Punjab). The subjects were administered the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwazer and Jerusalem, 1995), Drug-Taking Confidence Questionnaire (Sklar and Turner, 1999), Brief Assessment of Recovery Capital (Vilsaint et al., 2017), and the AWARE Questionnaire (Miller and Harris, 2000) to assess general self -efficacy, coping self -efficacy , recovery capital and relapse risk respectively. The obtained data was analyzed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results clearly revealed that general self -efficacy had a significant main effect on addiction recovery [F (1, 98) =6.96, p<0.01)] but the main effect of general self -efficacy on addiction relapse was found to be statistically non-significant [F (1, 98) =0.79, p<0.01). High scorers on general self- efficacy outperformed low scorers on addiction recovery capital. The findings also revealed that coping self- efficacy in substance users had a significant main effect on both the dependent variables, addiction recovery [F (1, 98) =23.28, p<0.01] and relapse [F (1, 98) =22.06, p<0.01]. High scorers on coping self- efficacy scored higher on addiction recovery capital and lower on relapse risk.
