Result showed that there is a significant difference between the pre and post-test measures of motivation achievement in the experimental group, thus proving the effectiveness of the Drug Rehabilitation Module in increasing motivation achievement among Rehabilitation Centre inmates, t (32) = -3.88, p = 0.001. Results also show that there is a significant difference in motivation achievement between the experimental and control groups, t (32) = -3.82, p = 0.001 at ? = 0.05. However, result show that the mean score difference was more pronounced for the experimental group (M=111.21), compared to the control group (M=85.94). In summary, results show that the motivation achievement of rehabilitation centre inmates can be improved using the module mentioned above. Achievement motivation is a person’s desire to achieve a goal. Hence, more studies with better control need to be conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the above module.
