Abstract: This study investigates the influence of social support and quality of life on resilience among individuals undergoing treatment at four private rehabilitation centres in Selangor. A total of 84 participants were assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the World Health Organisation Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), and the Adult Resilience Measure-Revised (ARM-R). Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study explored the relationships among the variables studied. The results indicated no significant difference in resilience between individuals from urban and rural backgrounds, nor significant associations with age or duration of recovery. However, social support showed a moderate positive correlation with resilience, and all domains of quality of life were significantly associated with resilience. Notably, psychological and environmental quality of life emerged as significant predictors, with the latter being the strongest. These findings highlight the crucial role of both social and environmental factors in supporting resilience during recovery. The study offers valuable insights for practitioners and rehabilitation centres, suggesting the need to enhance psychological and environmental aspects of care to better support individuals in treatment. Future research should consider broader demographic representation and varied settings to further understand the dynamics of resilience in recovery contexts.
